Your Opinion About Starlink

[ProBrain]

Hello there , i was wondering if hosting providers will Become extinct after Elon Musk new company and internet service provide all over the world using satellites so let's say what makes a server special is it's 24/7 online with good equipment and it has high speed network with low latency i mean clients can't just go and get some servers or just a normal pc but they convert it into a server with that network prices starlink is offering ?

There's more benefits to using hosting providers than just speed and low latency, such as data being stored securely in data centers. If you hosted it at home, then people would be able to access it a lot easier.

I think it will be a great option for consumers. For datacenters I don't think it will really be used much due to the fact of how much the equipment would cost for the uplinks they need. Also we have no idea how the ping is going to be yet. Also like Zyger said when looking for hosting people want to rest knowing their data is in a secure facility and not just some random persons home. Cause most datacenters well have way better redudancy than home labs. I personally only have enough battery backup for 3 hours of running all of my quipment in my homelab but some datacenters can run their entire DC for 72 hours. Also people looking for hosting want ddos protection which we have no idea if starlink will even offer ddos protection. Also we have no idea how their IPs will work if they are static or dynamic. And if they would even rent additional static IP addresses to clients
