HostingOwn servers for businesses
Own servers means: your solution runs on physical hardware that bettersorted operates itself instead of with a large cloud provider. We use this when a client wants fixed costs, dedicated performance – for example for local AI models – and a single point of contact for operation and hardware.

What we use Own servers for
Local AI Models
Language models on their own hardware, with no cost per request.
Dedicated power
No shared resources with other cloud customers.
Fixed monthly costs
Plannable instead of usage-dependent.
One contact person
Hardware, software and operation from a single source.
Why Own servers?
Full control
We know exactly what hardware your data is on.
Not a hyperscaler
No dependence on large cloud corporations.
Suitably sized
Hardware according to your needs instead of fixed cloud sizes.
Short distances
Direct contact in case of questions and malfunctions.
What we take care of with Own servers
- Sizing of the hardware
- Setup, Security, and Backups
- Operation, updates, monitoring and hardware replacement
Implementation and consulting can often be subsidised through German BAFA or INQA funding.
What it is not meant for
Your own hardware needs redundancy and well-thought-out backups, otherwise a hardware defect is a failure. For very fluctuating loads, a cloud is more flexible. We specify exactly where the hardware is located and what reliability has been agreed in the contract.
Frequently asked questions about Own servers
What does "own servers" mean at bettersorted?
+−
Your solution runs on physical hardware operated by bettersorted, rather than with a large cloud provider. Hardware, software and operation come from a single source.
When is it worthwhile to have your own servers?
+−
For even, high loads, for local AI models, and when fixed costs are more important than short-term flexibility.
What happens in the event of a hardware defect?
+−
This is ensured by backups and, depending on the agreement, replacement hardware. We determine the reliability together in advance.
Own servers or on-premise at the customer's premises?
+−
With our own servers, we operate the hardware. With on-premise, it is in your house and belongs to you; we set up and maintain remotely.
