We are currently on AWS, and we have several dedicated servers on LeaseWeb that we offload computational work on. These are cheap beasts.

Still, I'd not run my RDBMS on an unmanaged, non replicated dedicated server and I'd not bother setting up multiple servers with failover, automated backups etc and keep updating them. Fuck that, I'll pay whatever AWS says RDS costs.
