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.
