Servers may not be as popular as smartphones, but they still have an important role in technology. When we all hear the word 'server', it comes to our mind companies, tech-heavy offices, or data centers.

Is it necessary to have a home server when we all use smartphones, computers, and other gadgets? What benefits do they offer you?

1. 1.A personal server gives you full control over performance, security, and custom configurations, offering flexibility and reliability.
2. 2.Imagine streaming your favorite movies, TV shows, and music from your own collection. You can have all your content in one place.
3. 3.If you like video games, hosting your own server means better gameplay. You can set your own rules and avoid lag from busy third-party hosts. Plus, you get to choose who joins your world and how it is managed.
4. 4.A home server acts like a personal cloud, keeping your data safe and accessible from anywhere.
5. 5.Platforms like Home Assistant let you control lights, thermostats, locks, and more from one central hub. This removes the need for third-party cloud services.
6. 6.A personal VPN server lets you connect securely to your home network from anywhere in the world.
7. 7.Many people are moving away from tech platforms and choosing to self-host their tools, such as:
   1. •Email servers
   2. •Calendar and contacts
   3. •Note-taking apps (like Joplin)
   4. •Password managers (like Bitwarden)

We can all agree that servers are not always big and heavy machines like we used to think. Also, we need to correct the idea that only companies use them. In fact, these gadgets are part of our daily lives, even if we don’t notice them.
