I can't afford the ram and storage in the server anymore though. So it kinda is the same thing.

Rent vs own isn’t the issue then. It’s the cost of the underlying asset.

I also couldn't afford to rent one.

I can afford to rent fractional use of one, but by that token I could also afford to buy a very small fraction of one too.
