LaraPush Installation

In a self-hosted setup, you run your own server. This gives you full control over your data and actions, increasing security and privacy. Unlike in a SAAS model where your data is stored by another company, self-hosting keeps your data, like subscriber info, safe on your own server.

Also, self-hosted servers are flexible and can grow with you. You can change them to suit your needs, and make them bigger as your needs increase. This can be cheaper in the long term, especially for growing businesses.
