## Empowering the New Internet by Hosting Your Own 3Nodes

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:

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.

## Order a Node

The ThreeFold V4 nodes are available now and you can buy them directly on our official partners' websites:
