Being a provider in 2023 is tough!
Not only do you have all the usual challenges of being a hosting company – everything chargebacks to network outages to customers who’ll jump ship to save 10 cents – but over the last decade you’ve had to deal with the rise of public clouds.
Can you possibly compete against Amazon, Google, or Microsoft?
Yes. And to anticipate your next question, the answer is Warren.io.
In a nutshell (see this one pager), they offer a way for smaller players to compete with big public clouds. Warren – the name comes from the animal kingdom network – provides a platform so a small provider can offer many of the same cloud features. They do this by knitting together a stack of open source technologies and providing and elegant interface. The provider pays either on a revenue share model or a flat rate resource model.
It’s really cool to see “big cloud” features continue to filter down to smaller providers’ stacks. Even if you’re not a provider, I enjoyed reading their playbook and technical pages.
If you’re a small provider looking to compete, you need to check out Warren.io!
I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.
I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
