Servers can also be liability. You need to document, implement and maintaing hardening, have a process for regularly patching os and apps, monitor logs, have backup and disaster recovery procedures, regularly test the procedures, figure how to implement data encryption at rest, implement high-availability and so on.

Good platform-as-service can solve many things for you and let you focus on the core thing you are providing.

Obviously not everybody needs to worry so much about the stuff mentioned above. If you are providing SaaS solution, there’s a good chance some customer will start asking these questions as part of their procurement process.
