Why are there so few hosting providers?
The Belarusian market is quite specific: on the one hand, it is not too big in terms of the number of clients, and on the other hand, it requires serious investments in infrastructure. There are large data centers, but they more often serve government and large corporate projects. Therefore, the number of local hosts is limited, and many users prefer foreign services.
