Yes, and have it go down when things like the infamous AWS Outage happens. Centralization is evil.
How is having single server (I assume) behind a single ISP any less centralization than a cloud provider?
Another advantage of using the cloud is that it's much easier to make the foundation the owners (having all the accounts and passwords) then it would be for someone's private machine. It's currently a major issue and annoyance when there's only a single person that has access to a machine and that person is not available.
Just see what has happened to the DMD nightly builds. It's been down for weeks (soon a month?) and it's only Martin that has access to the machine. If you're in the cloud and get a problem with one machine, just tear it down and rebuild it (there should obviously be a way to completely automatically build the machine).
