Just put the shit on AWS, going to be HA and shit.
Never going to fail.
kek.
I will choose 1 dedi + cloudron in hetzner, very low maintenance effort. Just install and set up the backup and then let it go with auto update, as long as all the apps are available in cloudron or can be installed alongside it
I love cloudron but the lack of apps really throws me off. None of the arr apps or plex.
I prefer accounts at several unrelated hosts. This way one sells or goes out I have options. I try to leave extra space on all hosts, this way an emergency happens or I decide I want to move some sites I can move them with no issues. I also take my own backups so worst case scenario I have good backups.
If for hosting low to middle traffic websites made by php or django or ror, which do you prefer, dedi or vps?

Best not to keep all your chickens in the one cage.
I would agree but I think hetzner dedi are more reliable than most of the low end providers here. Except for maybe the premium ones like @Hybula
Depends on what kind of dedi you have (how much powerful it is + whats its price + how good the provider is at solving issues faced by customer)
If you have a good reliable dedi (like hetzner), one dedicated is enough provided you know how to work with dockers.
That's what I used to do for last 2 years.
After the war started, because of electricity shortages, hetzner increased it prices by 30-40% and I had to left it.
and that's how I landed at LET
yeah the price increase sucked but I get why they did it. There was an extensive thread about it.
I havent found anyone that beats hetzner at their price vs specs ration though. For 40 euros you can get a 16Tb i7-8700 - thats the best deal I've found anywhere
Sorry for not voting, reason being, I choose both. I use the dedi for my main processing reasons and my vpses as usually leaf nodes / backups where applicable.
My website is a Next.js page. I choose latency over performance. I build Docker Image and use Ansible to deploy automatically to multiple VPS around the world. This is done in CI/CD so it don't consume too much time to maintain.
So I prefer multiple small VPS than a dedicated one. It can also scale easily by add more VPS to the Ansible config file and re-run the deploy script.
I am using managed database from Planescale so I don't need to maintain it on any server. In future, I plan to use the serverless CockroachDB for the database.
Basically, I only need computation and I want that to be closest to the user.
The static files are also on Backblaze + Cloudflare combo.
This is the same for me too. I have many chickens, many bricklayers, and many airports - all with different laying, lying, and nutritional properties.
Serveral dedicated servers and setup proxmox to create several VPS on each server.
