There's more to hosting than just spinning up a fleet of containers you know (not even that that is necessarily trivial...).

Also, how would you be generating revenue from these users? Just do what google does and run ads on the side? Then what's the difference?

Ofcourse there's more to hosting. But that's what the hosting company does! The webhosting landscape - at least here in Europe - is perfect: worldclass technology, local service. I can be on the phone with these companies if there's a problem.

Spinning up containers is like the bare minimum I'd expect from an ops engineer, I wouldn't call it "trivial" but it's the job.

That's a business question, not an engineering one, if the businesses doesn't have a plan for revenue then hosting costs are irrelevant.
