Side tangent, seems odd to me this is still a thing. Most company websites aren't hosted on premises, so do these services like (i assume) AWS not scale for when there's traffic?

Scaling is only for companies that have not been allowed to purchase and enshittify every serious competitor. (Pixar, Marvel, HBO...)
