You are always going to depend on someone - web host, or VPS host, or colo service, or ISP (if the server is in your house). Not to mention domain registrar. The webpage is "yours" as long as you are the one in control of content, can migrate anywhere else without users knowing, and third parties can only disable your site but not edit. Both github pages and machine in the basement satisfy that rule.
