Who in their right mind would pay for a dedicated server monthly when with just a little extra time spent up front, they'll be able to buy an inhouse server and pay less than a quarter as much in the long run?
Not quite. Buying server hardware requires a substantial up-front monetary commitment. Once we have a good self-hosted PaaS package like Flynn, setting up an instance on an IaaS provider should (in theory) require a very small amount of time.
You see where I'm trying to go with that?
