> The only solution is to self-host. Gitea is good.

I don’t understand your thinking and gitea’s marketing. They say in the same breath that it’s “self-hosting” and that they do “Git hosting… similar to GitHub, BitBucket, and GitLab”. — https://docs.gitea.com/

You install Gitea on a server that you own. You use that instance of Gitea to host your git repositories. That is self-hosted git hosting.

Gitea is an open source alternative to GitHub, that you run yourself.

It's a "run your own github" application. akin to Github Enterprise Server or Gitlab CE/EE, except unlike Github Enterprise Server and Gitlab EE, it's open source.

As far as I am aware, they do not offer a hosting service. I believe that statement was meant to convey that the Gitea software, once installed is a git host similar to the others. I think they were trying to differentiate between a typical remote git repo and all the web components that come with Gitea. They do offer paid support, but that's still for self hosting.
