Self-hosting is non-negotiable in some contexts — compliance requirements, data sovereignty, or just the preference to control your own stack. Airlinkee is hosted SaaS and doesn't satisfy that. Here are the self-hostable options ranked by deployment effort and feature depth.
See non-self-hosted Airlinkee page →LittleLink: 10 min, static host, zero database. LinkStack: 30-60 min, Docker + database, production-grade. Big Link Page: 30 min Next.js deploy. Custom build (Next.js + Cloudflare Pages): a weekend if you're handy.
Hosting: $5-20/mo for a small VPS (LinkStack) or free (LittleLink on GitHub Pages). Time: initial deploy + quarterly patch updates + periodic backup verification. Domain: $10-15/yr. Total: ~$100-300/yr if you value your time at $50/hr.
Data lives on your server. You control backups, retention, access logs, and export. Code can be audited or modified. No SaaS vendor dependence. Survives SaaS shutdown or pricing changes.
You don't want to patch servers. You don't want to handle SSL renewal or backups. Your 'self-hosting' preference is about control in principle, not about actual compliance requirements. Then hosted SaaS saves real time.

Best for: Professionals whose self-hosting preference is about principle, not compliance.
No. Airlinkee is hosted SaaS — the code isn't publicly available and there's no self-host option. We're upfront about this. If self-hosting is required, LinkStack is the mature option and LittleLink is the simplest.
LittleLink (littlelink.net). Static HTML/CSS, no database, no backend. Clone the GitHub repo, edit the links, deploy to GitHub Pages or Netlify. Under 10 minutes start-to-finish for a basic setup.
Yes. LinkStack is the most mature open-source link-in-bio tool, actively maintained, used by thousands of deployments. Docker support, admin panel, built-in analytics, theme system. Not 'weekend project' quality — it's a real tool.
LittleLink: $0-15/year (GitHub Pages is free; Netlify free tier works; a custom domain is $10-15/year). LinkStack: $5-20/month for a small VPS (DigitalOcean, Hetzner), plus domain costs. LinkStack's time cost is ~1 hour initial setup + ~30 min quarterly for patches/backups.
Self-hosting any tool (LinkStack, LittleLink, or otherwise) requires some technical comfort — at minimum, you should know git, basic command line, and how to buy a domain. If those are unfamiliar, honestly: hosted SaaS is a better fit. Airlinkee is free, and the technical-skill cost of self-hosting isn't worth it unless compliance requires it.
Only if your 'self-hosted' search was a soft preference. If you're a regulated industry or have data sovereignty requirements, Airlinkee doesn't satisfy them — period. If you just 'like the idea of self-hosting' but would accept free hosted SaaS that handles ops for you, Airlinkee's feature set (credentials, multilingual, analytics) may beat the self-hosting effort.
Not at this time. Airlinkee is SaaS-only. If you have a specific enterprise compliance requirement that might justify on-prem, email us — we can discuss, though LinkStack is usually the right answer faster.
Your page content is exportable to CSV at any time. If Airlinkee ever shut down, you'd have your data — but you'd need to rebuild the page elsewhere. Self-hosting eliminates that risk entirely; SaaS mitigates it via export.
