While you can bring your own servers most of the time you rent those servers from them. You do this so that you can get fast turnaround on warranty replacements or repairs. You can use on-site hardware support and you get a lot of other benefits. When you think about it it's a lot like AWS except AWS offers those benefits even better than the old school places. You can have your own servers but it's at the cost of slower turn around on hardware issues.
