## Empowering the New Internet by Hosting Your Own 3Nodes
2024-12-12 12:30:16 +00:00
The Internet as we know it has become centralized, fragile, and monopolized by a few powerful corporations.
This model compromises privacy, limits innovation, and leaves us vulnerable to data breaches, censorship, and control.
ThreeFold is building a new Internet, one that is decentralized, secure, and people-powered.
By hosting a node, you become a vital part of this revolutionary shift.
## How to Host a Node
Getting started is simple. Choose the option that works for you:
2024-12-12 12:30:16 +00:00
1. **Buy a Plug-and-Play Node**:
Get a ready-to-go device that you can set up at home or in your office.
2. **Use Existing Hardware**:
Turn your current servers or devices into ThreeFold nodes by installing the software.
3. **Partner with ThreeFold**:
Collaborate with the community to host nodes at scale and grow the network.
