As far as running your own hardware, it increases the costs alot if you own your own hardware.
It means you are using a colocated service instead of just webhosting.
It means you trust someone else with your hardware that you pay to ship to them and pay to ship from them to somewhere else.
It means that if something fails, they identify that the part that failed but you have to pony up the $$$ to order it, wait for them to fix it, meanwhile your website is down.
