Word is the roll-ups have quietly put a frightening share of the managed market under a handful of parents. Before your high-traffic window, audit who really holds your uptime:
— List every host, CDN, and DNS provider, then their actual parent.
— Flag anywhere two 'independent' vendors share one owner.
— Identify the single failure that takes out the most revenue at once.
— Move at least your DNS and a failover under a different roof.
— Re-run this every quarter; ownership changes faster than your contracts.
A source tells us the next outage that makes headlines won't be one host — it'll be one parent.
Watch this: diversification you set up last year may have consolidated underneath you without a single email.
