That was then.
Now VPS providers are significantly increasing prices (Due to memory shortage) making it unaffordable to run servers cheaply.

They're not more expensive than a decade ago, when we were still using them.
DO Droplets are still $5/mo, as are OVH VPS’es.
Servers, and memory, are orders of magnitude cheaper today than they were decades ago... for memory see: https://dam.stanford.edu/memory-prices.html
Yes there's a slight upwards blip right now, but not even close to cancelling decades of progress in price reduction.
