Feels like you're proposing a distinction that isn't universal, and literally there are words (on and off-site) that describe the concept better than the term self-hosted.

Additionally, just because some of the physical infrastructure (the hardware) isn't in your control doesn't make it any less self-hosted. I'm sure there are some that own their building and electrical infrastructure too. Meanwhile I'm a schmuck that has to rent and pay a utility provider for electrical. That's not particularly far from datacenter access.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
