How many exchanges do you think run on bare metal? I bet a lot of them rely heavily on cloud instances in order to scale.

Consider also that even a dedicated server could be attacked via another vector. A process which is running chrooted/jailed, such as a coin daemon, could be examined by an exploit in another part of the server.
