Howso? The VPS can shut you down as well? You might say the migration path is easier, but there will be a weak link somewhere. Even if you put up a datacenter in the basement you need to connect to the internet somehow which can be taken away.

Yes. but VPS is a standardized commodity. If one provider shuts you down you can just switch to another.
