Drowning in Cloud Costs? Why Smart Businesses Are Moving to Dedicated Servers

How Moving Off the Cloud to Dedicated Servers Can Save Your Business Thousands

Cloud platforms were marketed as the ideal solution for growing businesses. But as your infrastructure scales, so do your costs—and often without a matching return in performance or reliability.

If your cloud bill is hitting $10,000 or more per month, it might be time to rethink the model.

At OpsGenius, we help businesses move off the cloud and onto high-performance dedicated servers. The result? Lower costs, faster systems, and complete control—without the headaches.

What’s Really Driving Your Cloud Bill Up

On the surface, the cloud appears affordable. Pay-as-you-go pricing feels efficient—until you’re paying for bandwidth, compute spikes, and storage overages you didn’t expect. Most companies don’t realize how fast these fees accumulate until they see the total bill.

If your workloads are consistent or growing, cloud pricing can quickly become unsustainable. Businesses end up paying a premium for convenience they no longer need.

For example, companies like Atlantech Online have found that businesses with large-scale operations may actually pay more for cloud services than if they were using their own dedicated servers (Source: Atlantech Online)

Why Companies Are Choosing Dedicated Servers

• Predictable pricing – No more guessing what your invoice will look like
• Full hardware control – No noisy neighbors, no shared resources
• Improved security – Private infrastructure, custom configurations
• Better performance – Hardware optimized for your actual workloads
• Real support – Experienced engineers who understand your stack

With OpsGenius, you’re working with a team that handles everything from migration to ongoing DevOps support. We own and operate the servers, tune it for performance, and manage it 24/7—so you can focus on your business.

37signals, the company behind Basecamp and Hey, saved over $1 million a year by moving off AWS to their own servers. They invested $500,000 in hardware, cutting their cloud costs from $3.2 million to a fraction of that. This shift helped optimize their operations and save money, proving that switching from the cloud to dedicated servers can lead to significant savings for businesses (Source: SiteHost)

How Much Could You Be Saving?

• If your company is spending $15,000 to $30,000 a month on cloud services, moving to dedicated infrastructure could cut that in half. Many of our clients see a return on investment in less than six months.
• And because we manage everything in-house, you get the reliability and uptime of the cloud—without the unpredictable cost.
