> it's not like you had to buy the hardware or replace the failed disks yourself, web hosters did that for you.

That’s an oversimplification. Yes, you didn’t go into the data center and replace the disk yourself, but it was a very different process than what you get with AWS.

There are still plenty of web hosts that operate the old fashioned way if people want to use them. There is a reason people prefer services like AWS though.
