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.

      Agreed! I feel like there is an underlying question here. Like, did the OP get called out for not-really-selfhosting-because-VPS?
      You do not need to define the word just because you want to host your own server for product X.
