Metal

Resells someone else's

Combine filters →

Reselling is an ordinary way to build a platform and several of the best-regarded providers do it: the product is the software, the operations and the support, not the metal. It matters for two reasons. Jurisdiction follows the underlying cloud rather than the brand, and the provider’s costs move when its supplier’s do. Which upstream is used is recorded on the record where it is known.

17 providers resell someone else's hardware, listed alphabetically. Across 14 countries, commonest entry price $5 to $15 a month. 146 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
