Are there other advantages am I missing? What are some of the disadvantages that come to mind? Thanks!

• Cost
• Data Backups
• Security
• Scalability and Flexibility

Does traditional hosting give you live data migration? no
Does it give you full API to manage thousands of servers? no.
Does it give you load balancers? no.
Does it give you VLAN? no.
Does it give you things like Kubernetes features? no.
Does it give you scalability? no.

Does anyone know some affordable, reliable Cloud hosting and computing providers based in India, esp. having Indian datacenter?

I'm already aware about Google cloud, AWS, DigitalOcean, so tell me some Indian brands in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Banaglore or tier-2 cities.

Have recently been looking at other alternatives like Cryptomator, Boxcryptor and, because I used it in the past, Veracrypt. It seems Cryptomator and Boxcryptor would be more comfortable to use if you'd also use files on your phone.

Cryptomator is free, Boxcryptor has more integrations and seems to be more established. Cryptomator only has like 10k downloads on Android which doesn't instill too much confidence (also not so many followers on socials). It's Open Source, though.. Which solution do you use and why? Feel free to introduce other solutions, too
