We actually ran out of my house in our very early stages at which case we owned everything. We had Google Fiber 8gbps for $150/mo. The only issue was the Google Fiber terms of service — ie they could shut us down at any time. This was one reason we went to colocation.
- re-thc 10mo ago> at which case we owned everything. We had Google Fiber So you didn’t own everything. Google owned the IPs and network. It’s the same colocating in that your network providers can be shut down.
- bojangleslover 10mo agoI guess you're right. Is it even possible to truly own everything yourself? Even if you open your own data center, at some point you have to agree to peer with big fiber providers like Segra, Lumen, AWS Edge Network, right?
- re-thc 10mo ago> Is it even possible to truly own everything yourself? Even if you do there's still more to it e.g. blacklists of different kinds e.g. known proxies, spam listings, etc that would still mean you need to kick out your client. Then there's the bad clients you need to deal with e.g. if they send DoS from your network. Even if you don't get a report it will eat up your limited resources and you may be subject to revenges and bring down your infrastructure. Conclusion: there's lots to it but so does every business. That's just life.
