On top of our rock-solid platform built specifically for security, we back your site with features like security alerts, nightly backups, and free malware cleanup.
Own Your Data
All data is your own all the time. Migrate away from the platform to your own hosting and keep all your content and functions without rebuilding somewhere else.
Open Source
Our entire platform is Open-Source and totally un-patented. While we don't publicly publish our code for a competitive edge, you're welcome to request a look under the hood anytime.
Dedicated Resources
With any closed-source platform, it's common to store all user's website data on the same databases. That means that if one site has a deep vulnerability, user data may leak. On a Station site, you're in full control of your own data within it's own unique un-shared database.
GDPR Compliant
Each website enjoys a complete stand-alone install which makes our solution fully GDPR compliant. We also don't inject tracking codes like Google Fonts or Analytics. It's you're choice to use those.
Self-Hosted Analytics
Each Station site hosts it's own robust analytics system comparable to Google Analytics. No data is ever sent off your site and you can delete or download any time.
Protecting Privacy and Freedom
Your right to safety and privacy online should never be bought or compromised. That’s why we’re committed to defending that right. Whether it’s by publicly advocating for online privacy or partnering with digital rights organizations, we stand strong to protect you.
