Isn’t all hosting containerized at this point? Is hosted, language specific servers still a thing?
I’ve been out of the market for a while now and just run everything as containers on aws and gcp
No. Not even close.
Many older projects don't get migrated to containerized infrastructure and smaller businesses don't want the overhead it creates to run a single app/webpage. Plain LAMP with FTP access is still the most common way to host I think (and thus the cheapest if you consider the amount of work that would need to be invested to containerize).
Interesting. I never really realized how it was more my path changing than the entire industry.
The industry is surely changing, but "the industry" is mostly geared towards enterprise, because it's where the money is. But the large amount of webpages are not enterprise pages but personal blogs, small businesses etc.
