But of course this is open source, so you're welcome to do this on your own. If you'd like to explore implementing your own Prebid Server solution, check out the [Prebid Server host company overview](/prebid-server/hosting/pbs-hosting.html). Be warned that installing PBS is not nearly as easy as Prebid.js.
