Yetty vs self-hosting
Self-hosting is total control - and total responsibility. Yetty is the same site, live on your domain, with the whole stack run for you.
A VPS gives you full control, and developers who enjoy that should keep it. It also gives you a second job: web-server config, SSL renewals, uptime, backups, a form and email backend, an analytics stack, security updates - forever. And none of it is something the business owner or your client can touch.
Yetty runs the whole stack - hosting, SSL, uptime alerts, lead inbox, analytics, versioned changes with one-click rollback - for $13 per site, and adds what a server never gives you: a dashboard where a non-technical owner edits their real site. You keep the HTML and can export any time. Developers: ship the site, hand over the dashboard, keep your weekends. Or let your AI run it over MCP.

| Forms → lead inbox | DIY | |
| Analytics | DIY | |
| Versioned changes + 1-click rollback | DIY | |
| Owner edits content, no SSH | ||
| Client-ready CMS handoff | build it | |
| Run the whole site from any AI (MCP) | build it | |
| Total cost | $13/site | server + your time |
self-hosting is its owners' trademark. Comparison reflects typical plans.
Which one is for you?
You'd rather your finished site be run for you - and hand the owner or client something they can actually use.
You publish once and it's fully looked after - editing, leads, SEO, backups, rollback - from a simple dashboard or your own AI. Hand it to a client and they can run it too.
You want full server control or a custom backend, and you enjoy running infrastructure.
Then self-hosting is the better fit, and that's fine. Yetty is for the finished site that just needs to be live, editable and looked after.
