Password Hosting Done Differently
Unlike the big password managers, we won't lock you into a closed app and quietly hike the price once you depend on it. SantoWarden runs Vaultwarden — an open-source server that speaks the exact same protocol as Bitwarden. Your apps don't change, your workflow doesn't change, and your data stays yours. Export the entire vault to standard Bitwarden JSON any time and walk away.
At SantoHost, your vault is yours alone, your data is encrypted before it ever leaves your device, and our focus is simple: keep it private, backed up, and online. You shouldn't have to pay premium prices for open-source software — and here, you won't. As a privately-owned small business, our promise is always to our customers, never to shareholders.
You Own It
Your vault runs in its own isolated instance at your own subdomain — not a shared database you can't see into.
No Lock-In
Export to standard Bitwarden JSON or CSV any time. Works with Bitwarden.com, any Vaultwarden host, or a different manager entirely.
Backed Up & Monitored
Daily encrypted offsite backups and 24/7 uptime monitoring — we're paged before you'd ever notice a problem.
Own your vault•Keep your apps•Stop overpaying
Get Your Vault NowYou are never locked in — full stop. Export your entire vault at any time in standard Bitwarden JSON or CSV format. That export file works with Bitwarden.com, any other Vaultwarden host, or even a completely different password manager like 1Password, Dashlane, or KeePass.
To export: log into your vault → Tools → Export Vault → choose your format.
Because it's simply not financially practical. Hosting the software yourself would typically cost around $5–$10 per month for a VPS. IPv4 addresses currently cost between $1 and $3 per month at retail, and those prices continue to rise due to scarcity. Daily backups also add to the overall cost. Our servers are hosted in dedicated data center with 99.9% uptime. At just $10 per year, our plan offers exceptional value and is difficult to beat.
