How to host your own NuGet Packages There are mainly three different ways you can host your nuget packages privately:

What is Nuget? According with nuget.org, NuGet is the package manager for .NET. The NuGet client tools provide the ability to produce and consume packages. Packages means compiled code provided as DLLs files along with other content needed in the projects that consume these packages.
Microsoft summarized the definition as “NuGet package is a single ZIP file with the .nupkg extension that contains compiled code (DLLs), other files related to that code, and a descriptive manifest that includes information like the package’s version number”.
