| Note: Items in red indicate drawback or disadvantage. The number of reds indicate the amount of drawbacks that come with each model. Only root access and shared resources can be seen as drawbacks of our model. But because our model is a “managed” model, these are hardly drawbacks. In our model, we manage the servers, you manage your sites. |
