What if I rent physical server space at a colocation? Is that "self-hosted" by your definition? I'm curious where the imaginary line is drawn.

So in other words, the colo data center is hosting the server for you, rather than you hosting it yourself?

This isn't hard, but sure, just pretend words are all nebulous and ineffable and "imaginary".

Ba-humbug! Hosting at home on a server purchased from a vendor like Dell? That's not true self hosting either. A true Scotsman self hosts on hardware he soldered up himself. /s
