??? question "What is ElfHosted? 🧝"

ElfHosted is "self-hosting as a service" (*SHAAS?* ) - Using our [Kubernetes](/kubernetes/) / [GitOps](kubernetes/deployment/flux/design/) designs, we've build infrastructure and automation to run popular self-hosted apps (*think "Plex, Radarr, Mattermost.."*) and attach your own cloud storage ("bring-your-own-storage").

You get $10 free credit when you [sign up](https://elfhosted.com), so you can play around without commitment!

We're building "[in public](https://elfhosted.com/open/)", so follow the progress in the open-source repos, the [blog](https://elfhosted.com/blog/) or in [Discord][elfhosted/discord]. 

TL;DR? Here's a guide to [getting started](https://elfhosted.com/how-to/get-started/), and another to [migrating](https://elfhosted.com/how-to/migrate/) from another provider.
