Yes this is true and I said that we will definitely see hosting products based on containers. I'm not disputing that point.

You know what the most popular hosting product is right now? It's not VPSes. It's shared hosting. Good old simple shared hosting outsells VPSes by a huge margin.

There's plenty of room for a variety of products, all the way from shared, to VPS, to container based to dedicated servers.

What I took issue with was the original article saying that containers would make VMs a thing of the past, which is silly.
