I read and it says you have to use a third party host or host on your own [1]. I’m not sure how this differs from the WWW - could someone explain? Thank you!

It's an inversion of control over your data. Instead of all the data being stored in multiple places outside of your control, your data is stored on a pod and you have better control over what happens to it.

I was also confused by this, on the home-page it says

> Solid lets people store their data securely in decentralized data stores called Pods.

Then in the "Get-a-pod" it suggest you should get Amazon for hosting?
