Start9 Server One – The sovereign platform for privacy and crypto infrastructure
The Start9 Server One is more than just a server – it is a decentralized digital command center for anyone who wants to manage their data and finances themselves.
Designed for maximum security, independence, and efficiency, it combines powerful hardware with StartOS , an open, self-managed operating system that enables the operation of private cloud services, communication platforms, and cryptocurrency backends—completely cloud-free and without third-party providers .
Decentralized control – your own node in the network
With the Start9 Server One, your home becomes a hub of digital sovereignty .
It supports running Bitcoin and Lightning nodes , Electrum servers , Mempool.space instances , BTCPay servers , and many other open source services – directly on your own hardware.
This allows you to operate your own financial system: You validate transactions yourself, execute payments via the Lightning Network, and host your wallet backends without ever disclosing data to third parties.
StartOS offers an intuitive interface: Services can be installed, secured, and updated with one click – without any command line interface. All connections run via Tor Hidden Services or, optionally, via VPN , guaranteeing absolute anonymity and security.
Privacy without compromise
All data remains local on the device . Neither metadata nor usage information leaves the system.
Communication is fully encrypted via Tor , meaning no central authority has access to your data traffic. StartOS itself is transparent and open source , free of telemetry, and auditable by the community.
For additional security , backups can be stored encrypted on external media or cloud storage of your choice – automatically and completely under your control.
