Hi TurboB,
Nobody should begrudge you for that choice if it suits your needs and makes you happy, then it's good for you.
Listen, if I had an audience of clients that just wanted unmanaged services and a focus on price, not speed, nor support then I'd be happy to sell at their rates on their volumes, all day long.
Contabo says it has 350,000 servers running (presumably a count of all shared, VPS, cloud, dedicated, etc.) for 180,000 clients managed by "64 highly trained individuals are waiting for your contact. We offer telephone support 365 days a year from 8 am to 11 pm German local time and our agents monitor our support tickets 24 hours a day."
We have just over 50 employees servicing around 2,000 clients... and I can assure you, it's not luxurious staffing, there is always more work than people, and we are very efficient. I've also not heard of a web host that only takes live phone calls during such short EU business hours before, so I applaud Contabo for that.
Selling automated infrastructure and services is easy. If anyone has a brilliant idea on how to create a pipeline for such demand, please apply for a marketing or sales job here. If you can create the demand, I already know that we can deliver faster, cheaper and better for clients who don't require support.
