Installing self-hostable services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? (jlai.lu)

Your post was removed because it wasn’t about any self-hosted applications, services, or infrastructure. Instead, you were complaining about the customer support of a VPS provider.

A case could be made that Rule 7 should have been cited, instead of Rule 3.

Alright, I guess I should have rather made a post like PSA: beware of Netcup, they shut you down on suspicion of doing stuff against their ToS whether it's actually the case or not and without giving you a warning to respond.

meh...I wouldn't get too crunk about it. If you're here for any length of time, you're bound to have a few mod deleted posts.

If OP was self-hosting they wouldn't have had a problem with their hosting provider.

As someone runnings things out of my basement computers, i have a lot of problems with my hosting provider

i donno i think you're self hosting if you're the admin

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Your hosting but not self hosting.

No, Hosting has a technical definition. When you rent a server or in this case VPS, the company is hosting you. You can maintain or administer the services but you are never hosting yourself on someone else's computer.

Woah TIL that because I'm admin, I'm self hosting an entire enterprise of nearly 50,000 users.
