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.

Not one person, at least four people to run stuff 24/7.

99% of businesses don't need 24/7 but two are the bare minimum (a admin, and a dev or admin)

That’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.

That'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.

You could have a staff of a million-plus people and stuff could still go sideways.

Hint — it did.
