with a dedicated server you get the full resources of ram and cpu, on cloud those are shared with others… but I’m since 2011 hetzner customer and never had a performance issue.

with a cloud server you are much more flexible and most time it’s easier to setup.

Thank you for the tremendous help nostr:npub1er2fex3tl5d7j9e77hh46kex33n0eulp56ewz9r4wsecpmlww9pqem2fkn !

Is it easy to switch between them and move your app from cloud to a dedicated server?

How I see it at this point is:

1️⃣ Cloud could be cheaper starting point if my app is not used all the time.

2️⃣ If more resources are needed I can switch to a dedicated server.

3️⃣ If I use a docker container, it is easy to set it up in any environment, because I only need a dockerfile and a folder with necessary files.

if you use the same os and cpu architecture then it should be easy to move to a new environment.

not sure what you plan to host, i think a dedicated server is used if you plan to use app’s that need lot of cpu or ram. I have 4 cloud server right now and this is still cheaper then a dedicated server. and to spin up a new cloud server is much faster, also you don’t have to care of hardware failure.
