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?

    If you’re not cycling a pedal-powered generator to run your system then is it really self-hosted? My servers only use organic transistors grown in my zen garden.

    It’s self hosting. Is it home lab? Nope. Though plenty of people use VPS as a way to terminate their VPN connections and such.

    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.

    i’d argue yes. if it’s just a plain linux vps without any additional services, you’re still doing plenty of setup yourself.
