Full Explanation
GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) is the self-hosted deployment option that runs on your organization's own infrastructure. Unlike GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Cloud, which are hosted by GitHub, GHES gives organizations full control over their data, network, and compute resources. This is essential for organizations with strict compliance requirements or air-gapped network needs. GitHub.com is GitHub's public SaaS platform. GitHub Enterprise Cloud is a cloud-hosted enterprise tier managed by GitHub. GitHub Team is a mid-tier plan on GitHub.com with no self-hosted option.
