unhosted

Lacking a presenter

Unhosted describes something without a host—an event with no emcee, a website not stored on a central server, or a gathering where no one plays the traditional host role.

In web technology, unhosted applications store data on the user's own devices rather than company servers: an unhosted app that keeps your files local.

The word can also describe parasites or pathogens existing outside a host organism.
