Yeah, this has been requested a few times. I don't come from a hosting background (Outside of managing my own VPSs) so I don't feel it's something I can personally do (at a level of service I'd be happy with) but the idea of partnering with someone that has experience is something I've though about; The tricky part is finding someone I can trust enough to send users to.

^ This right here is a business ^

Helping small ISVs turn their software into SaaS offerings.

For sure. Honestly, I would love to have an established open-source respecting company like RedHat come along and say "We'll be your official hosting partner, we'll handle hosting, payments and offer these services, we'll need x hours from you per week for support, otherwise focus on the project, we'll give you £x per month, You retain ownership and other revenue streams."

A bit idealist and of course the contract would be more complicated, but to focus on the project while having established support would be ideal.

I'd love to chat more about this!

We're a managed cloud infrastructure business (since 2006), and also run our own public cloud.. Reach out to me via nick at mnx io.

At a minimum, I'd be happy to give you some pointers in this space.

I sent you a message via LinkedIn, I would love to partner with you on this.
Would love to help get this up. :)
