I actually am moving my startups servers from AWS to a home server.

Reasoning:

* We know how much compute is need.

* We know how much the new servers can compute.

* We have the ability to load balance to AWS or Digital Ocean or another service as needed.

* This move provides a 10x speed improvement to our services AND reduces costs by 70%.

For reference, had to call the ISP (AT&T) and they agreed to let me host my current service. It’s relatively low bandwidth, but has high compute requirements.
