buying server form 3rd party dose not equal it's yours...

i would rather get my own one, push the IT team to do so etc...

hard to compete with cloud services anyways...

To further clarify, the service aimed at users who like their privacy but do not have enough time or skill to maintain their own server, neither have IT team at their disposal.

Check www.vultr.com it's cheep and you can spin your own ISO for OS install. Best I found so far.
