If you’re an SMB looking for cloud hosting, chances are you’ve considered AWS (Amazon Web Services) or Azure (Microsoft). They’re powerful platforms — but are they the right fit for a small or mid-sized business? Let’s break down the differences.
The Big Cloud Players: AWS & Azure
AWS and Azure dominate the enterprise cloud market. They’re designed for large corporations with in-house IT teams and complex needs. For SMBs, that often means:
- Confusing pricing structures
- Extra fees for support, backups, and security
- A steep learning curve
The SMB Alternative: Cloudnet
Cloudnet was built specifically for small and mid-sized businesses. Instead of enterprise complexity, you get:
- Flat $300/month pricing
- Backups, security, and disaster recovery included
- 24/7 human support with 15-minute response times
- White-glove onboarding and migration
Cost Comparison
That’s nearly 50% savings every month for the same uptime guarantee (99.9%).
Conclusion
If you’re a Fortune 500 company, AWS or Azure may make sense. But if you’re an SMB that values simplicity, security, and predictable pricing, Cloudnet is the smarter choice.
