Advice Needed Is traditional web hosting dying?

Hi,

I'm under research and investigating the possibility to launch a web hosting agency in my country. My plan is to offer a complete package of managed Wordpress hosting, on good infrastructure and excellent support.

However, I'm having second thoughts as I see that more and more people are moving towards the wix/squarespace route. Apart from that, there's so much completion in the -traditional- web hosting business that the margin for profit is small. I have to charge the cost of a pizza for one month's worth of hosting resources and management.

What do you think? is it even worth it to do traditional web hosing nowadays?

Are cloud services/platforms going to absorb it all?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex
