That lets you host your own data. You cannot host an instance. You must use the Bluesky app with your PDS.
What's preventing you from running your own Relay and/or AppView?
From what I've read, that's not possible, at least not yet. Currently, everything must go through their relay and it will only "federate" with PDS'
It sort of sounds like they're trying to "have their cake and eat it too." It will be interesting to see where things go with it. I hope they choose to be more open with federating instead of trying to become Centralized Twitter 2.0.
I haven't looked deep into AT stuff tbh.
