Is the idea that self hosters tend to make less security mistakes than the big hosting companies?

Self hosters can come from a background of hosting.

Self hosting is extremely more streamlined and secure than it was 5,10,20 years ago.

Because it’s the same gear.

the idea is that you don't have half of all companies all share the same liability of a single cloud provider who is half-arsing it because of their monopoly position.

I’m well aware of the cloud, used it the entire time it’s existed.

Also known the cloud is made up of the same equipment that many can get access to similar or equivalent at their level of need.

The origin story of the cloud was that there were networking bottlenecks. Those were long since solved but the cloud kept carrying on like it wasn’t.

The cloud provides incredible convenience. It’s still some one else’s computer.

Are there specific examples of where the big hosting companies “half arsed” it worse than the typical self-hoster? And the argument is that overall the big hosters do this more often than self holsters in terms of security?

Learning to self-hosting helps yiubsecurebyourbcloudbhosted stuff better too. :)

The consent want us to know that so we stay dependent.
