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.
