Who We Are
Open IT Store is an open source IT company created and managed by Your Own Net SAS, a French business dedicated to delivering ethical, secure, and sustainable IT solutions worldwide.
Our Philosophy: Knowledge, Openness, and Innovation
We believe in sharing knowledge. Our team of experienced IT professionals has deep expertise in server hosting, network administration, operating systems, databases, and enterprise software.
We are not just a tech provider — we are driven by values. For us, open source is more than a license; it’s a philosophy of openness, transparency, and accessibility. All our solutions are designed using a wide range of open-source technologies, ensuring full control and freedom for our users.
We are ambitious — and we want our clients to benefit from that. Our platforms and applications evolve every year to offer faster, more secure, and more powerful solutions, tailored to global needs. We currently serve clients worldwide, with servers located in Europe, America, and Asia.
Security: Built-In, Not Bolted On
Security is at the core of every service we offer. As an open source IT company, we rely on trusted open-source software and best practices in cybersecurity.
We use secure tools and platforms such as:
- Operating systems: Linux Debian, Ubuntu
- Databases: MariaDB, MySQL, MongoDB
- Network & security tools: VPNs, firewalls, Fail2Ban, OpenVAS, and WAFs
We follow industry best practices provided by trusted frameworks like Cisco SAFE and government institutions such as ANSSI (France’s cybersecurity agency).
All our data centers meet or exceed Tier III+ and are certified with ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 standards. We also run regular audits and use tools like the Nextcloud Security Scanner to assess and enhance the safety of our deployments.
Eco-Responsibility: Our Climate Commitment
We actively reduce our carbon footprint through environmentally conscious practices.
- Our data centers prioritize renewable energy (e.g., Hetzner in Germany) and energy-efficient infrastructure (e.g., Scaleway DC5).
- We choose the nearest hosting location for every client to reduce energy-intensive data transfers.
- All our hardware — from servers to smartphones — is second-hand. We extend device life with Linux, and donate or resell equipment when it’s no longer viable.
- Employees use bicycles or trains for travel, and we encourage remote work.
- Our office runs on hydroelectric power, uses dry toilets, and is furnished with reused furniture.
