Where is Hyper.sh (specifically its containers) actually hosted? As I explained in my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12892243 it really feels like Hyper.sh is hosted on Amazon, and there were references to that fact before, and you guys are trying to minimize that in your site now. If you're on Amazon, that's OK. I don't think that minimizes how cool this technology is and how much easier it makes things. Amazon has an Elastic Container Service, but this is more nuanced than ECS is, and much more painless. But if the containers aren't on Amazon, a little more detail on how that works would be awesome, because right now it really feels like they're on Amazon. Which is fine, but when folks are making decisions (like putting their stuff on multiple platforms for reliability), it's important to know. Edit: I signed up and looked around. It appears they're hosting on ZenLayer, a Chinese hosting company that has hosting in LA as one of their options. Not sure why they stick so closely with AWS on terminology though. |

Makes sense from a user familiarity perspective -- AWS is what most cloud users are familiar with, and describing things in terms that are most likely to be understood is generally good practice.
I'd agree that it would make sense though if their site clarified who owns and runs the datacenter their running their service out of, if only for answering the question if they're hosting on top of AWS or not.
