DO = Digital Ocean Again, depending on your needs, VPS are not a commodity. GCP offers a few things that Azure or AWS don’t, etc... Often times making sweeping generalizations without deep industry knowledge is a bad idea. If you don’t even know what DO is, why do you feel experienced enough to argue?

Because I've been self-hosting my internet services on VPS's for the last 15 years on various providers. There are literally dozens of them. They are absolutely a commodity.

  God, you just don’t get it. NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME NEEDS AS YOU. DIFFERENT CLOUD PROVIDERS OFFER DIFFERENT SERVICES YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE MARKET OFFERS /rant

    "Cloud" and "VPS" are not the same thing. VPS = Virtual Private Server, which is one very specific kind of cloud service. Cloud services in general are not a commodity, but VPS is.
