There is this thing in 2016 called the cloud. Less hardware, more servers, easier to use, cheaper to run, and other businesses offer them at very good prices.
Using your own experience as a back end consumer is ridiculous in of itself. You pay way more than it actually costs.

Cloud servers unless designed for game hosting, are not capable of dealing with hosting games. Believe me I have more experience with this than most because of what I use to do for a living, which was planning National Broadband Connections, International Broadband Connections, Data Center connections, Residential TV, Phone, Broadband and Mobile Phone connections. I would plan Internet Connections of speeds of upwards of 10GBp/s, putting servers in to data centers and even planning what hardware would be required for a data center to meet the demand of not only VOD servers but Game Servers. As it goes if I had the roughly £10 Million Pounds to build and run a data center for 2 years in order to build up a customer base in order to start making a profit then I would do it but I don't have that sort of money. One of the last jobs I did before I lost my job due to illness was planning 20 10GBp/s connections in to a brand new data center that cost over £2 Million Pounds to build the building and get the Utilities installed in the building. Running Dedicated Servers is just not a case of choosing the right hardware there is alot more involved.

The cloud is ok for certain things, but it is not the answer here. And no matter how reliable MS / Amazon etc say thier cloud solution is, it isn't. They still go down regularly!
