# Databag Design Overview
With all the wonderful things technology provides, it also has its darker side. Technology is increasingly used to violate our privacy and manipulate our beliefs and actions. End-to-end encryption has become standard and restores some of that privacy, but only addresses part of the problem. Self-hosting goes much further in providing true [self-sovereignty](https://www.lifewithalacrity.com/article/the-path-to-self-soverereign-identity/) while allowing technology to grow in a way that is beneficial to everyone.

Self-hosting involves running your own server to host a variety of services. These services can also be made available to friends and family. While self-hosting is gaining traction, it still remains mostly limited to those that are very technical. Without reaching the average person the impact and benefit of self-hosting also remains limited.
