About us

One association.
One conviction.

Swiss Hosted Solutions is a non-profit association under Swiss law. We are convinced that digital infrastructure must be open, auditable and locally anchored.

Our mission

Making open source accessible to everyone

Many individuals, small companies and public administrations are stuck in proprietary solutions — not by conviction, but because leaving seems difficult. That is exactly where we step in: with knowledge, guides and concrete alternatives from the world of free software.

As an association we are committed to nothing but our purpose. We sell no licenses and take part in no lock-in models. What we recommend is open source — and runs on Swiss soil.

Our values

What we stand for

This list is not final — we are still working on describing our values in full.

Transparency

Open code, open processes, open communication. What we do is traceable — for members and for the public.

Privacy first

Data belongs to the people who create it. For us, privacy is the starting point of every solution, not an afterthought.

No tracking

We collect no behavioral data — not even on this website. No cookies, no analytics, no external services.
