 Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS means running your own Personal Data Server that is capable of federating with the wider Bluesky social network.
 
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Initially to join the network you'll need to join the [AT Protocol PDS Admins Discord](https://discord.gg/UWS6FFdhMe) and register the hostname of your PDS. We recommend doing so before bringing your PDS online. In the future, this registration check will not be required.

 ### Preparation for self-hosting PDS
 
 Launch a server on any cloud provider, [Digital Ocean](https://digitalocean.com/) and [Vultr](https://vultr.com/) are two popular choices.
