VPS vs Dedi
For end-users hosting websites, a web app, a mail server, etc, isn't a dedi overkill?
I feel like 99% of end-users don't really need a dedi tbh. For those of you (who are not resellers virtualizing the dedi and reselling VPSs/shared hosting) who own a dedi, what exactly was the bottleneck that you find in a VPS that made you upgrade to a dedi?

No one use dedicated servers nowadays. Even if you buy one - virtualize it. Numerous benefits:
Only with very specific tasks is reasonable to use dedicated machines as it is.
Isn't a VPS overkill? And 99% of end users hosting on a VPS could easily use shared hosting?
CPU, RAM & Disk
also: dedicated port + no bad neighbors on a node
& the amount of serious providers offering cheap VPS’es that can compete with OVH/Hetzner’s dedi value, given their stability and as you said, the added value of no neighbors on the node–not a lot
But to be clear, I still split it up into KVM’s. Easier, as @Levi said
Edit: Debian & Docker thx
