I’m asking cause my previous post regarding my server that isn’t at home got moderated for violating rule 3. I don’t get it 🤔

    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.

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

      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 tp 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.

          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.
