Right now all I hear near Seattle is properties that are relatively unexceptional, that people bought 2-4 years ago for $800k, and are now being listed at $1.2M. They’ll list on a Friday, get 35 viewings over the weekend, and the seller has

Twice the revenue of DigitalOcean still puts it < $1B ARR, or am I missing something? I can’t see how that’s the third largest in the world, or does your definition of “hosting provider” exclude clouds?

Most /24 seem to be marketed a little higher than that, so you’re really looking at ~$7500 USD for a minimum size prefix which you could advertise. I do generally agree with your assertion this isn’t unaffordable, since the people who
