> No one will be stealing your data as the big corps do.

We take care of that ourselves by self-hosting and having faulty or unmonitored backups :)

Or you can use something with straight-forward pricing, like Digital Ocean. I don't understand why AWS is default for everything. People need to snap out of that racket.

Digital Ocean is even on the expensive side these days. There are a lot of vps providers that offer decent pricing and include bundled bandwidth. Some of the hosts may not be good for business-use, but should be fine for personal stuff.

Because provisioning/configuring/monitoring/scanning/patching/grooming servers sucks.. and people are lazy.

I must have missed the incident where a major cloud provider was stealing their customers' data. Do you have a link?
