You upload your private SSL key to Cloudflare for example. And I was talking about hosting on your own hardware/colos like most large sites do (7x cheaper than AWS list prices on avg)

Please specify in detail how you believe that’s an MITM using the standard industry definition. In particular, consider whether “attack” and “voluntary business agreement” are synonyms.

MITM is not a uncommon term to use when you do things like install corporate SSL certs on laptops so you can monitor people's activities.

Breaking open encryption to monitor activity between users and other sites is a completely different thing than having a provider handle hosting for your site.
