The most notable example of self hosting going right is CNN, they self hosted their emails and were therefore able to fight the court order until it is narrowed and there was a change of leadership in the white house & DoJ.

Emails for Politico, buzzfeed, the Times, a congressional staffer, and more. iCloud metadata for at least a dozen individuals associated with the House Intelligence Committee, and more.
