Consolidating a sprawling host portfolio post-merger wave

Consolidating a sprawling host portfolio post-merger wave
Word is so many brands merged this year that affiliates are unknowingly hosting three sites on the same parent. The cleanup playbook:
— Map every site to its true parent company, not the brand on the invoice.
— Flag concentration risk — one owner's outage shouldn't take your whole portfolio down.
— Compare the now-identical SLAs and kill duplicate premium add-ons.
— Renegotiate as one account where the parent allows it; volume talks.
— Diversify deliberately across at least two unrelated owners.
A source tells us single-owner concentration is the silent risk nobody prices until the day it bites.
Watch this: the next big roll-up will turn your 'diversified' setup into a single point of failure overnight.
