Or with cooperatives. Cooperatives are a good alternative to corporations.

Cooperatives are still a corporation, but the ownership is distributed more than the CEO style corporation we are used to.

Are there any 501c3's out there that I can host with? That would be the dream. Unless I guess buying into a cooperative of those exist

A membership cooperative isn't a bad idea I suppose for a cloud service. I think having users vote on the administration of a service could get hard to work with though unless the vote was to delegate it out.
