Self-Hosting

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. Running software on your own infrastructure rather than using a managed cloud service, or — in compiler theory — the milestone where a compiler is capable of compiling its own source code.

    In plain English: Running an application on your own servers instead of paying someone else to host it for you.

    Example: "We self-host GitLab on-prem because the security team won't allow our source code on third-party servers."
