This is considered Garbage Hosting:
- Any sort of hosting with a big corporate company that doesn’t have your best interest
- Large, corporate hosts that treat customers as revenue streams, not partners. (Examples: M$ Azure, Google Cloud, Amazon AWS, Oracle, DigitalOcean)
- Slow server speeds
- Forced renewals at higher rates
- Weak security (hacks, no SSL)
- Terrible customer support
- Bad email deliverability
- Deceptive “unlimited” claims
- Hidden fees/price hikes
You’d be surprised how much garbage is already out there… and I’m not talking about the middle of the ocean. Let’s get right to the point.
A host can be reliable but still total garbage.
I see it all the time — companies trap you in their ecosystem with no easy way to export your data. Sure, Google or Amazon might be rock-solid when it comes to uptime, but why support corporations that use your money for yachts or push agendas that don’t match your values?
You’re bankrolling billionaire hobbies and corporate agendas.
The truth is, the gap between 99% and 93% uptime is barely noticeable unless you’re making millions online. And even then, if your income depends that heavily on your site, you shouldn’t be relying on a corporate hosting company anyway — they’ll never give you the privacy, performance, or support you actually deserve.
Reliability doesn’t automatically make a host worthwhile.
Just an example…
If there are 10,000 hosting companies out there, at least 75% of them are garbage. That’s just how things go when an industry gets oversaturated — everyone jumps in to make a quick buck, and quality takes a back seat. The real challenge is finding the few that actually care about performance and support instead of just pushing subscriptions.
This is too funny, I think when I look back at this in a few years time I’ll have a good laugh.
