Why is STACKS so much cheaper?

We own our hardware. No AWS or Azure markup in the price. When you pay $4/month, it goes to real infrastructure, not a reseller's profit margin.

Every account gets its own isolated VPC network. Daily backups run on replicated storage. Containers are private by default.
