Drupal Hosting in 2026: Escaping the PaaS Prison
Is your hosting provider a partner or a prison? As we move into 2026, the cost of "opinionated" platforms is skyrocketing, and vendor lock-in is becoming a major business risk. In this episode, we break down the three paths for Drupal infrastructure: the high-cost PaaS model (Pantheon/Acquia), the dangerous "Snowflake" DIY server, and the future—Hybrid Orchestration.
Learn how to reclaim your digital sovereignty, own your own AWS/Azure accounts, and slash your hosting bill by up to 80% without losing the automation you love.
In this episode, we cover:
- The Negotiation Trap: Why your hosting costs climb even when your traffic doesn't.
- The "Black Box" Problem: What you lose when you don't own the underlying infrastructure.
- Snowflake Servers: Why DIY hosting is an "accident waiting to happen" in 2026.
- Hybrid Orchestration: How DevPanel provides PaaS convenience on your own cloud account.
- The 80% Savings: A breakdown of how removing the "Platform Markup" changes the game.
