Hosting Options
I have a dedicated server from servers.com (specs below) that I'm currently paying monthly for. I use this for a fair amount of projects currently (not just web projects), I'm unsure if I should continue doing this for my web projects though. I develop these apps primarily with Next.js and all require a database, I typically use either MySQL or Postgresql, these databases are also created on the dedicated machine.
I've been torn between keeping these projects hosted on the dedicated machine, and using hosting such as vercel for my apps. I'm just looking for some advice for this for how to move forward with hosting my projects, databases included. I'll be keeping the dedicated regardless since I have a need for it outside of these web projects, this isn't a question of do I need the dedicated server it's more of should I keep the projects on there or move the projects to dedicated hosting sites/services. Thanks!

Solution
you can use Coolify, it recently hit v4, works very well
ooh is that like aapanel?
Would you recommend this over pterodactyl? That's what I'm currently using on my server
if you're running production databases on a single machine without read replicas or anything, for the love of god at least let those be handled by a company that knows what they're doing
doesn't matter if it's aws or planetscale or whatever
just let someone manage your database
Thanks everyone ❤️
