I'm a solo founder who's bootstrapped a saas that's in one state. I'd started out with the cloud then moved to a private cloud in a colocated data center. Saved more than 80% in monthly costs. Got faster speeds, better reliability and a ton of extra compute and network capacity. I just bought used servers from eBay that are retired from big corps. Nothing significant has really changed in the last five years on compute so I'll happily take their depreciated assets :) __Modern__ servers are really awesome and I totally recommend them. You can do a ton remotely.
