Our Mission
At SelfHostedSecurity.com, our mission is to give organizations the tools they need to take control of their links, secure their workflows, and safeguard their data—all while keeping everything in-house. We built SelfHostedSecurity.com because we believe privacy and security shouldn’t come at the expense of convenience, and our story begins with firsthand experience solving these challenges.
Who We Are
We’re Ian Alexander and Garrett Milster, co-founders of SelfHostedSecurity.com. We’re no strangers to building secure, reliable software for growing organizations. Our journey started at Syncro, where we built and scaled a suite of SaaS tools trusted by IT professionals and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) around the globe:
- TechSuite: A powerful toolkit for computer repair professionals.
- Kabuto: A lightweight Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) platform.
- RepairShopr: An all-in-one business platform for repair businesses.
- Watchman Monitoring: A proactive monitoring solution for MSPs.
- Syncro: Our flagship product that combined the best of these tools into an RMM and PSA solution trusted by thousands of IT teams worldwide.
Through these experiences, we learned what it takes to create tools that balance security, scalability, and user-friendliness—and we bring that same expertise to SelfHostedSecurity.com.

Why We Built SelfHostedSecurity.com
The idea for SelfHostedSecurity.com came from conversations with friends who had worked at some of the biggest tech companies, like Google, Stripe, and Meta. They shared how much they relied on their internal link shorteners to save time, streamline workflows, and keep their data secure. When they left those companies, they missed having access to such a powerful tool and struggled to find comparable solutions elsewhere.
Hearing their stories, we realized this wasn’t just a "Big Tech" problem—it was something many modern organizations could benefit from. External link management tools didn’t meet the high standards for privacy and security that today’s businesses demand, and building a custom solution often felt out of reach for most teams.
That’s why we created SelfHostedSecurity.com: a tool that gives organizations the same secure, private, and efficient link management capabilities that Big Tech teams rely on—packaged for seamless deployment on any infrastructure.
Our Expertise
Our background in IT and SaaS product development has taught us how to build tools that are secure, scalable, and easy to use. Over the years, we’ve worked on products trusted by thousands of IT professionals, helping businesses improve workflows while maintaining security and data control.
At SelfHostedSecurity.com, we’re applying those principles to link management:
- Secure by Design: Ensuring links are always protected and private.
- Data Ownership: Keeping sensitive information fully under your control.
- Seamless Integration: Building tools that fit naturally into your team’s existing workflows.
We believe that secure link management should be accessible to every organization, not just Big Tech giants.
