Articles like this reflect the fact that one size does not fit all.

In theory that sounds reasonable. In practice the ability to completely manage the system via a web console and APIs makes a big difference.
- fxtentacle 6y agoI have never needed it, but the hosting provider which I use actually has an API that you can use to reboot servers into different OS images, or trigger hardware resets, or do an kvm access. https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Robot_Webservice/en https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Robot_Webservice/en But honestly, if you have only one server, what do you need an API for? It'll be much faster to just configure things by hand. It's not like you'll switch servers very often. Or at least the original article says that they committed to monthly cancelation terms.
- dx034 6y agoEven Hetzner as the cheapest VPS and dedicated server provider offers an API to completely manage servers.
- isatty 6y agoYou can definitely do cheaper than hetzner (like OVH).
