I created a tool to host data for individuals on a blockchain. Is this considered "self hosting"?

I'm going to say probably not, but depends on your use case.

Putting data on a blockchain is closer to a p2p system. You release it out in the wild and then have little direct control on it. For me, the primary driver of self hosting is taking ownership and control of my data and systems, where here you still primarily rely on other people's systems.

The systems you have Interacting with that data ? Maybe.
