I don't know what the intended definition of Commercial is, as it is not defined in the license, but the common definition is:

>> used for selling goods or providing services for money, rather than for personal use

(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/commerci...)

An individual being paid to provide a service is commercial under that, and most legal definitions of the word.

The license only forbids third-party to offer Umbrel by themselves. If you pay for hosting, and install it on your own, it would be fine.
