# Hosted TSS signer

As you know from the previous section, the TSS protocol can be used for the Signer Service to make it even more secure and trusted. Despite the fact that we rely on our Signer Service with TSS protocol run under the hood, we deeply understand your desire to be responsible and host your own independent TSS.

Here are some benefits of hosting TSS:

* Easily decide amounts of parties and threshold. 
* Configure it to your own dApp.
* It's trusted because you control all parties by yourself.

Private Signer Services are still compatible with our [Signers Registry](/for-developers/cross-chain-messaging-protocol/how-it-works/signers-registry-contract.md), so you don't need to worry about deploying anything else.

As an additional service, we provide full documentation and support to help you setup up your TSS. Please [Contact Us](/contact-us.md) to get additional instructions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bitoftrade.com/for-developers/cross-chain-messaging-protocol/advanced/hosted-tss-signer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
