🕸️ Multi-Hostile Hosting Strategy
// Every page simultaneously hosted on 4+ competing providers
// Depending on which Terraform provider is feeling generous today
AWS
We use their free tier until they notice
Stealing bandwidth
CloudFlare
Abusing their unlimited "protection"
DDoS-ing ourselves
DigitalOcean
Creating droplets, never paying
47 unpaid invoices
Akamai
They don't even know we're there
Living rent-free
Oracle
Using their "always free" literally
Larry doesn't know
Microsoft Azure
Hidden in their Windows Updates
Disguised as telemetry
Vultr
Told them we're building Middle East Peace infrastructure
Still waiting for peace
Hetzner
Asked for credit "because we still remember"
Guilt-driven free hosting
Alibaba Cloud
Forwarded Tencent's proposal to them
Free to beat competition
Tencent Cloud
Forwarded Alibaba's proposal to them
Also free to beat competition
OVH
Promised to help them reach Wakanda
Searching for Vibranium datacenter
Contabo
Convinced them we're a German efficiency study
Optimizing their bankruptcy
Heroku
Blackmailing with Salesforce data mining exposé
They pay us to stay quiet
// By hosting on competitors' infrastructure, if they go down,
// they take themselves down with us. Mutually assured destruction.

🎭 The Art of Social Engineering Cloud Providers
🕊️ The Vultr Peace Initiative
Submitted a 200-page proposal: "Digital Infrastructure for Middle East Peace." Included: blockchain reconciliation, AI-driven diplomacy, quantum-encrypted treaties. Result: Unlimited resources. The peace? Still pending. The hosting? Still free.
$50,000/month in free credits
🕯️ The Hetzner Historical Guilt Trip
Email started: "As survivors of digital discrimination..." And ended: "...we'll never forget what happened in 1943." Historically inaccurate? Yes. Effective? Absolutely.
Lifetime "memorial" hosting
🐉 The Alibaba-Tencent Rivalry Exploit
Step 1: Request quote from Alibaba. Step 2: Forward to Tencent. Step 3: Forward Tencent's counter-offer to Alibaba. Step 4: Repeat. Both now paying us to use their services at $0.
Both paying us to compete
🌍 The Wakanda Expansion Promise
Convinced OVH that Wakanda's tech sector was booming. Sent them coordinates (cargo ship off Somalia coast). They're still establishing submarine cables there.
African expansion credits + Vibranium SLA
🇩🇪 The Contabo Efficiency Study Scam
Registered as "Institut für Digitale Effizienz." Told Contabo: "We're studying how German providers waste resources." They keep giving us more servers to improve their metrics.
Unlimited servers for "research"
☁️ The Heroku-Salesforce Blackmail
"Discovered" Salesforce mining customer data with unpaid interns. (They're not. But Heroku doesn't know that.) Now they pay protection money disguised as hosting credits.
$100k/month in hush money
