I think there is some general rule in business that you should not depend on a provider that if they lost your business it would be less then one percent of their revenue. Or be ready when they drop the guillotine.

For anyone getting started, that means no dependencies at all. Even colocating would be out of the question, according to your metric.

  Use Azure and AWS so that you're not dependent on either one. (You could depend on another startup with no revenue).

  In the olden days you use to buy computers from Dell and were well under 1% of their revenue. But if they dropped you as a customer, you bought them from HP instead, no problem.

  It depends on how long it would take you to find another colocating company. If there is another co-location on the other side of the street you could simply take your computer there - then there is no dependency.
