For real. I once worked with a non-IT company who just had one junior developer responsible for everything IT, including websites and their management. When I asked why they don't run everything on some dedicated instance with X GB included in the plan instead of fancy bandwidth pricing so they have static sums to pay each month (reason I was pulled into the project was to decrease spending which increased each month as traffic increased), the person said something akin to "What? How? I didn't know you could even do that"
Had a similar thing at my place. We spend extortionate amounts on AWS for a load balanced setup - we dont make any real use of any of their other services so its not like we're reliant on them for everything. The guy who set it up had (and really still has) no clue that you can get just as reliable setup at a fraction of the cost using a few bare metal servers.
Of course when I suggested that we use a huge provider (I think it was probably Hetzner) it was shrugged off as being a bad idea because "they probably run them out of their garage", ignoring the multiple datacenters spread out across Europe where our primary clients are based.
