Multiple VPS or one Dedicated (with ProxMox or ESXi)?
Hi,
I currently have a few VPS servers, but most of the time I don't need them always, I thought about getting one dedicated server and installing ESXi or ProxMox on it and then install the VMs as I need them. I'm looking for the most cost effective solution.
What are your thoughts about that? What do you think it's more cost effective?
I was thinking like this:
Multiple VPS from different providers is more safe than one dedicated server running multiple VMs in case of a hardware failure, network availability, etc.
Please share some info about your vote if you can/want.
Thanks for your opinion!

1 dedicated and vps/ auto backup
Depends on a lot of things, but if you can handle everything being in a single location then I would opt for a single dedicated server with a good provider.
I prefer Proxmox personally, it's pretty simple to setup and manage your VMs.
