Moving your own self-hosted stuff around different hosting providers is easy and doesn't interrupt the service, at least not for long. Just open an account at a new hosting provider. Fire up, your backup, changing DNS and you are up and running.
This is great until your DNS account is blocked at the registrar for similarly opaque reasons.

Most of startups knows that if they need to succeed it must be self-hosted somewhere. I'm not talking just for sources and repos. About servers too.
In my experience, most small startups, especially successful ones, rely on SaaS for as much as possible. The goal is to do as little as possible themselves.

Just because you can't kill every opinion you don't like and depose every president you don't like and fire every employee who doesn't share your views and close every account on every website that has any different opinion, just like you flagged me doesn't mean it's counter-factual. You liberal extremists the plague of our generation.
If your assertion were true I wouldn't have needed to block long time friends who continually post opinions such as yours.
In Austria there is a law in place saying if a company has a monopoly (e.g. public transport) or a quasi-monopoly (e.g. only supermarket in a 100 miles radius) the company is required to serve any customer and is not allowed to turn any down. It is time that all countries introduce laws that prohibit online monopolies from denying access to their users without good reasons.
I think we need another word for these companies that are way to big and "monopolize" certain online spaces/communities.

Incidentally, what terrible GitHub support that the best way to resolve this is to get help from Twitter or front page here.
This is true of far too many major platforms. The only way to get resolution is to yell as loudly as you can on social media or forums and hope it goes viral. Truly terrifying how integral the internet has become and yet due process is nowhere to be found.
I'm sorry to break it to you. But that's basically want you agreed to by accepting their terms of service: "GitHub has the right to suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Website at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. GitHub reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time." https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-te…

Cue the "it's not a monopoly" crowd. I think we need another word for these companies that are way to big and "monopolize" certain online spaces/communities.
