Are there stats on how much of the network uses managed hosts like MastoHost? That sounds like a giant target.

It's nice that they allow off-migration and don't lock your community in.

I don't think it a large proportion; the vast majority of users are on a few large instances such as Mastodon.social which are not via MastoHost. The owner also stated he would not want to host more than a 4th of all instances

We will likely migrate to our own cloud setup once size gets stable.

Related to this: fedi.monster is a good alternative provider too.
