Hi everyone,

I’m a PhD student in Computer Science researching why people choose to self-host software—what motivates you, what concerns you, and what factors affect your decision-making.

To better understand this, I’ve prepared a short anonymous survey (~10 minutes). Your insights as part of the self-hosting community would be incredibly valuable for this research.

This study is part of my doctoral research at the University of Maribor, Slovenia, conducted under the supervision of Assist. Prof. Lili Nemec Zlatolas, PhD. All responses are anonymous and used strictly for academic purposes.

If you’ve ever self-hosted anything—or even just considered it—I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks a lot for your time, and feel free to ask me anything about the project (luka.hrgarek@um.si)!

Cheers!

    Page 2 seems to have a lot of redundant question.

    I intend to continue using self-hosting services in the future if possible.
    I will use self-hosting services regularly in the future if possible.
    I will frequently use self-hosting services in the future if possible

      Questions in surveys like this are sometimes repeated with slight variations to get more accurate results.

      They are different enough in intention though.

      I intend - I plan to try, but I might not.

      I will - I am definitely going to, but maybe not very often or for limited uses

      I will frequently - I am definitely going to, and it will be a common/important part of my work/life-flow
