The services are maybe hosted by myself, but the servers aren't mine. I'm only borrowing a small chunk of resources from some company, so can it still be considered self-hosting?

Self-hosting isn't only just about owning the metal, but it's also the freedom to configure things the way you want, and to be sovereign of your data.
