I mean, the one I'm talking about is relatively reasonable on infra
they've decent building, data center tier, so power/network redundancy, etc, etc
they're just cheap as fuck when it comes to people

People are the most important part of any operation! That's the last thing you want to cheap out on.

I’ve just had a good laugh from your comment! Maybe water on the floor was for cooling.

It was years back, I don't think I could find it again. I wish I saved it. Finding the company in the first place was a rabbit hole project. If my memory is correct is was in Brazil.
I really should start a blog for some of the weird research I do sometimes.
One of the companies had a picture of one of their "datacenters." It was something like 10 racks in a moldy unfinished basement with visible water on the floor of what I'm guessing was a residential building. Maybe they had mopped the floor for the picture?
I thought it was strange they would put that picture on their site and not some GCI or something. I guess at least you know they are not lying about being a real place?
