    On-site self- hosting, on owned hardware. Who knows what’s going on behind the closed doors of data centers around the world.

    And let’s not get into industry standard hardware backdoors remote control systems.

      Pretty sure having someone else host it somewhere else is the opposite of self hosting anyways.

      I was under the impression that self hosting always meant your own hardware on your own property. Buying a VPS was never self hosting in my eyes.

        In the traditional sense, yes. VPSs is somewhere between the classic self-hosting as you described and off-site managed hosting.

        I think of VPS more like administrating a virtual server rather than actually self-hosting.
