Self-hosted IT support & managed-service software

A first-response clock that stops only when a human actually answers, the asset register behind the estate, loan kit signed out and flagged when it is late, credentials sent as one-time links your own server cannot read, the DSAR portal with its statutory deadline, supplier and licence renewals with their warnings, hours by client, and the invoice at the end of it. Bought once each. Every tool below is a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, and your data lives on your own server.

Self-hosted without the assembly

The other answer to “self-hosted” is a repository: clone it, read the compose file, provision a database, wire up mail, then keep it patched yourself. That is a fair answer when running infrastructure is already your job, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Everything on this page is the other kind — all 8 of them. Each is bought once, the full PHP source is in the download, and the web installer finishes on ordinary shared hosting in about two minutes. No Composer, no Node, no build step, nothing to compile, and nothing that phones home.

The Number a Shared Inbox Cannot Produce — First Response, and Why It Gets Faked

Every internal queue argues about response times with no number either side can point at. The reason is that "answered" in a mailbox means somebody read it. What it takes to produce a first-response figure that survives being audited, including the four ways teams accidentally fake one.

What's new in Own It 3.1

The limitation-smash release: your tools now write to the people they serve — client emails through your own SMTP, calendar feeds, attachments, export presets — every one of them off until you switch it on.

The 2026 SaaS Rent Index — What a Small Business Actually Pays to Rent Its Software

We priced 82 SaaS vendors from their own pricing pages in July 2026, then ran a ten-tool small-business stack out to five years. The bill is $11,188 — and a quarter of the market charges per seat, so it grows every time you hire.

Snipe-IT Is Free — And It Is Not a Fixed-Asset Register. The Difference Costs People Months.

Most asset software tracks who has the laptop. A fixed-asset register computes depreciation, book value and disposal gain. They are different products and buyers routinely choose the wrong one. Here is the line, drawn clearly.

The field-service stack, bought once: the quote that becomes a job, the van's service date, the kit that goes out, and the checks that come due

What the Field-Service Suite bundles and why the five are five: Jobora for quotes, scheduling and costing; Fleetora for the van's expiries; Lendra for the kit; Fixora for the plant; Inspectora for what is due. Each product's refusals, the hand-offs, and the arithmetic beside buying them separately.
