The pie is big enough and also don’t think big cloud players and DO are after the same customers.

34% of the web still runs on Wordpress. A lot want somewhere cheap and easy to use with more power than shared hosting.

AWS LightSail is basically DigitalOcean with a huge jetpack with the ability to extend into AWS's ecosystem.

LightSail is really really slow. You will have to pay double to get similar CPU performance to DO.

But I guess that is the price you pay for being AWS ready.

You on the AWS Social Media Team or something? People don't want to do business with Amazon.
