Are we all use your server when we use Dashticz? Or does some people use your server?
Otherwise im happy to move script thats needed for Dashticz to my own server (Digital Ocean)

At first because of the traffic on your server and second for privacy reasons.
I am not feeling very well, knowing that my data is transferred somewhere else, only for formatting.

Long-term I would prefer option 4: making the services also available...

I think this should not be a long term option. Why creating costs anywhere if the additional services can run local on any platform.
These are only simple services, a far as i can see. Maybe it is possible to put the functions to the client side, for example the ICS to JSON conversion, so that there is no need for any extra servers.

Possible, but you probably end-up running some kind of Cloud Service using a subscription model which Dashticz users could use if they want certain features. But not my preferred direction..

Would be great if a (commercial) company would become a sort of sponsor for your service.

Maybe a 3rd option: community based Cloud Service... If you would run a proxy service, community members (like myself) could donate server/cpu capacity to take on some of the load so more load can be processed without moving everything to a single handed operated service.

Long-term I would prefer option 4: making the services also available independent of any Cloud Service by making the needed back-end processing Open Source as well so people can choose to either run the services themselves or use a Cloud Service (from option 1, 2, or 3).

Let's be careful before making the wrong assumptions.

Fact is that Rob Geerts has spend tons of his time on this Dashticz project, with great result, without asking money for anything.
My (positive) assumption is that some things like the calendar and garbage evolved over time and that it never was his intention to either lure us into a subscription or collect our private data for commercial use.

I have to admit that I was quite suprised that Dashticz.nl was getting my private data, that was not my intention either. However, a few posts back in this thread Rob describes how he plans to move everything to the client side. This also has my preference, I even thought about the possibility that things around 'garbage' get included in Domoticz instead. Dashticz could take the data from there.
