# Index ## Welcome to Necc's Homeserver Welcome to **Necc's Homeserver**, a private digital hosting environment dedicated to serving **family, friends, and selected internet communities**. ### What is this server? Think of this server as a small, private corner of the internet. It runs 24/7 to host websites, files, and applications that we can use together. It is not a big company; it is a personal project run by an individual to help people connect and share resources easily. ### Legal Notice and Terms of Access Please review the following terms carefully before proceeding with registration: - **Open Registration:** Account creation is currently open to all. - **Private Resource Status:** This infrastructure is a **private asset**, not a public utility or commercial service. - **GDPR Applicability Note:** As a private host operating for non-commercial purposes, this server may fall under the "household exemption" (Article 2(2)(c) GDPR) for activities strictly limited to personal or family life. However, because this server extends access to broader internet communities, **full GDPR compliance cannot be guaranteed**. - **Big Tech vs. Private Hobby:** Large technology companies and data brokers make billions of dollars by collecting your personal data, tracking your every click, and building detailed profiles of your habits. They sell this information to advertisers and use it to **manipulate your behaviour** (for example, by showing you content that keeps you angry or addicted so you stay on their platforms longer and see more ads). Some data brokers even sell this data to insurance companies, employers, or political campaigns. In some US retail stores, they adjust prices real-time based on your general income and wealth. - **This server is different.** We do **not** sell your data. We do **not** track you for profit. We do **not** use algorithms to manipulate what you see or how you feel. We do **not** show you ads. Your data stays here, used only to provide the service you need. - *Your Rights:* While we respect your privacy and protect your data, this is **not** a large commercial company. We cannot guarantee all formal GDPR rights (like filing official legal complaints to data authorities) in the same way big tech companies do. We handle your data with care as a private hobby project. - **Privilege of Access:** Usage of this server is a **privilege** granted by the owner. - **Access Can End Anytime:** The owner can **remove your access at any time**, without warning and without needing to give a reason. This is a private space, and the owner decides who stays. By registering, you agree that this is a casual, private service. We do our best to keep things running, but we cannot guarantee permanent access. Reasonably, you can expect 99.9% uptime with scheduled daily small downtimes at 4:00 am. ### Next Steps To begin your journey, please proceed to the [**Registration Guide**](https://docs.necc.me/books/rtfm/page/registration-guide) for detailed instructions on creating your account.
