Pretty sure they are implying that the actions of the current president/administration are causing people to re-evaluate US dependencies. I don't really understand the first half
- fifilura 8mo agoI think in the first part they are implying that there are very few independent companies to turn to. (I also prefer comments that are clear without insinuations).
- stavros 8mo agoAhh, the sales rep is Trump, that makes sense, thank you. I thought Jacques meant they had lobbyists somehow.
- Tadpole9181 8mo ago1. There's no meaningful European competition. 2. Trump is making everyone scared to use US hosting. So they're leveraging for extra profits.
- hsuduebc2 7mo agoThe ridiculous prices of memory surely does not help.
- wongarsu 7mo agoThat is indeed what the comment seems to be implying. "No meaningful European competition" might be a bit too strong. There are many great EU hosters. OVH, Netcup, Scaleway, Strato, Ionos, Exoscale, to name a few. But Hetzner is probably the biggest and has the best name recognition. Doesn't hurt that their prices are among the best in the industry
- formerly_proven 7mo agoThese are all really quite small though. Revenue (EUR): Ionos 1.5bn, OVH 1bn, Hetzner 0.5bn, Strato <0.2bn, Netcup (incl. parent) <0.1bn, Scaleway <0.1bn, Exoscale <0.01bn
