The services are maybe hosted by myself, but the servers aren’t mine. I’m only borrowing a small chunk of resources from some company, so can it still be considered self-hosting?

    Self-hosting is just a generalized term for running your own stacks instead of just using the standard corpo stuff. It’s not a regimen or lifestyle or anything like that. Don’t worry about the terminology.

    Self-hosting isn’t only just about owning the metal, but it’s also the freedom to configure things the way you want, and to be sovereign of your data.
