We're pretty aware of the advantages and drawback of the cloud. We moved from AWS to a private server and then back to AWS. You're right that cloud hosting makes more sense if you need scaling. The move described was to a single server. But now that we have the data on AWS we can expand. Probably the first step will be a separate fileserver and appserver. After that we can add multiple appservers and consider availability zone failover.
