Yes, and many popular applications are prepackaged as one-click apps by cloud providers like Vultr [1] or Digital Ocean [2].

You can also enable automatic backups for your servers.

Somewhat OT, but never realized how expensive those cloud instances are. For comparison, I pay $4.95/month (billed annually) for a KVM VPS with 2 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 40gb SSD, 400 GB HDD in the Netherlands. That seems a lot better for selfhosting where you probably want more raw storage than more SSD space.

If that is enough to handle everything you need, then that is definitely a better deal. The electric bill for a similar home server running 24x7 would be more than $6/mo.

That's pretty awesome, what provider are you with?

But it looks like I got it on a sale, TERAKVM-400 comes down to $6.94 at normal prices.

Not the OP, but I’ve been using Netcup for video transcoding. It was the best bang for the buck out of a large number of providers I tried.
