cloud hosting seems awfully cheap, so what are the drawbacks of cloud hosting vs a dedicated server for you?

Welcome to the interwebs mister - have luck with that if you dont understand the difference between on-prem, private/public cloud, serverless, IaaS or infrastructure as code
Last week I set up a AWS infrastructure with auto-scaling groups for a tube site. Scales from 3 frontend servers, to 300 in increments of 5 in less than 45 seconds between each step-up. All videos are dumped in a S3 buckets that cost 0.028 (before discount) pr gigabyte data. and all videos are auto-transcoded without anyone touching it.
And that is even Old-school....
If you can go serverless, you should. You might as well prepare for hybrid-cloud v2.0
