Rolling your own hosting is prohibitively expensive for most but the largest companies. Most instead will opt for running their infrastructure on a cloud provider, which perhaps gives you more control over things, but you will succumb to some of the same downtime Netlify and the like will experience.
- unityByFreedom 6y agoHuh? Cloudflare is free so all you need for a static site is a $5 VPS.
- bdcravens 6y agoThat's not rolling your own; that's depending on 2 cloud providers. (the comment was clarified to not mean actual infrastructure, but still, you've really only shifted dependencies in almost every case)
- unityByFreedom 6y agoIt is in this context. The first step in moving away from something like Netlify is to have your own server with a free CDN backing it. After that I guess you can buy your own hardware and internet connection. But nobody here is suggesting we all create our own CDNs.
