Someone asked me why I didn't put my personal web server on AWS instead of on Hetzner. Because on AWS it would be 10x more expensive for the same specs. The cloud makes *no* sense for personal 24x7 "it just does its thing" long-term workloads.
Not like cloud providers are going to stand up for you in that case either. The dodgiest stuff I do on this server is of the "well if someone *really* cares (unlikely) they might send a takedown" level, in which case I'd just take it down, so I'm not too concerned.
