Servers are not hard if you have a dedicated person (long time ago known as Systemadminstrator), and fun fact...it's sometimes even much cheaper and more reliable then having everything in the "cloud".
Personally i am a believer in mixed environments, public webservers etc in the "cloud", locally used systems and backup "in house" with a second location (both in Data-centers or at least one), and no, i don't talk about the next google but the 99% of businesses.

- nix23 5y agoWow Sherlock....no BS? Look at the title of this article...
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 5y agoNot one person, at least four people to run stuff 24/7.
- nix23 5y ago99% of businesses don't need 24/7 but two are the bare minimum (a admin, and a dev or admin)
- bradknowles 5y agoThat’s like saying that you’ve got a hard drive so you could be your own DropBox. You vastly underestimate the amount of resources required. And what those resources cost.
- nix23 5y agoThat's why i wrote "not the next google, but the other 99%", and now that HN-guy comes around and compares it with dropbox.... 99% of company's are hairdressers, lawyers, builders, insurance etc.....and NOT the next google/dropbox/facebook...are you so far away from reality? I know how much it costs, because that's exactly what i do since ~19 years.
