Problem• Hosting is fundamentally flawed:
• Need to trust hosting company.• Complexity: Takes hours to set up Amazon Web Services.• Hosting companies under surveillance.• Metered: Pay extra for each VM.
• antsle™: must-have pain killer. Solves the problems.• Saves $500 - $3,000 annually subscription fees.
