Storage and VPS systems are becoming (have become) commodity so quickly.

It will be interesting to see if this has any effect on open-source Saas businesses. I.e. "We'll host it for you or you can host it yourself for free" - for example, ghost.

Hosting it for me has definitely has its level of remove-hassle advantages, but if such software is easy to install and low maint, then it becomes notably cheaper to grab a VPS for it.
