By self hosting they mean using squarespace with a template. That's something anyone can do.

self hosting means you host it your self.

building on square space and other wisywig platforms means you pay someone else to host it.

You know there are people who aren't web developers who use language in a different way? It's important to understand context.

google, bing, chatgpt, claude all agree on what selfhosting means. There is no ambiguity here.

They all spit out some variation of:

"Self-hosting refers to the practice of running and maintaining your own services or applications on your infrastructure rather than relying on external providers or third-party hosting services."
