Ask HN: How can hosting companies be improved?

3 pointsby jasondecastroalmost 10 years ago
There are a bunch of these everywhere but they&#x27;re all exactly identical. Except for companies like DigitalOcean, but it&#x27;s still not much different.<p>What could you suggest that would make a hosting company different and <i>better</i> while still maintaining the basic principle, which is the distribution of servers?

(1) I think similar to Digital Ocean, better backend admin panels that&#x27;s simple to use yet powerful enough to do most remote admin tasks.<p>(2) Providing some sort of backup service that&#x27;s cheap and easy to use. Along with this, provide a way to restore that&#x27;s easy as well.<p>(3) Online chat support. Although I think this might be a little harder since this is really an issue of economics.

In the post-Snowden world, cloud hosting outside the US(and now possessed by US-based company) really matters.
