Get a Solid Pod

Solid Pod is where your SolidCouch data are stored. You can register with a Pod provider, or host your own.

Get a Pod from a Solid Pod provider

There are various Solid Pod providers you can choose from. However, not all providers are currently compatible with SolidCouch.

You can go to your SolidCouch instance, click Sign in > Don't have a Solid Pod yet?, and select one of the options.

Host your WebId on your domain

If you own a domain name, you can have your WebID on your domain. This gives you more control over your Solid identity.

Choose the option "Use my existing WebID to access my Pod" with one of these providers:

• solidcommunity.net
• solidweb.me
• solid.redpencil.io
• teamid.live
• pods.solidcommunity.au

To complete the process, you must prove that the WebID on your domain belongs to you. Afterwards, the WebID must point to your Profile Document.

Host your Solid Pod

You can also host your Pod. This will give you full control over your data. However, it's more complicated to set up, and requires maintenance. We recommend Community Solid Server.
