| 6 | |||
| 7 | Our Nextcloud platform is hosted on a **self-managed, private server**, ensuring complete control over data and operations. All files are stored using **WebDAV internal storage**, eliminating the need for third-party services and keeping your data **secure, private, and independent** from external influences. | ||

| 9 | ### **Open Registration & Community Growth** | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | We’ve enabled **open registration**, allowing anyone to join and contribute to **The White Archive**, **Weissism**, or **General Collaboration** groups. This fosters an environment of **community-driven growth**, where users can choose their level of involvement and new groups can be added seamlessly. | ||
