I'm trying to shift as much hosting off the US tech giants as possible because . So far it's been an odd consumer experience: really I'm looking for commodity virtual private servers so I can run a Nomad cluster. But all the Canadian hosting providers so far seem to want to add some custom layer of differentiation on top and call it something just novel enough that it takes me a while to figure out if it's Heroku-esque, or just managed Wordpress, or actullly a virtual private server but entirely managed through a web interface and no API is available, etc. etc. It reminds me of mattress shopping, where I'll never, ever find the same model number twice.
