They are a web hosting company, like AWS (etc.), so at least you can shift your stuff to somewhere else if it gets too pricey.

The "etc." is basically thousands of other companies.



Only said by someone who hasn’t done large scale migrations. It’s never that easy. It’s always disruptive.


Sure, but if you are a startup and your bill went from $10,000/m (say this is comparable to AWS) to $100,000/m because the fly investors said so, you would probably move? Or go bust? Either way it is not good game theoretically for the vendor to do that.

And if they did they also wont get the enterprise customers who are considering conservative alternatives.
