I had a similar setup, only with MySQL as the database since 2003. Started on a server in a closet of my own apartment, then moved to Leaseweb, then Hetzner. The project had its highest point some 14 years ago, with well over 1mln page views per month, but I could still fit it on a single bare metal server.
As the project started to fade out, I moved to Hetzner Cloud to reduce the cost of standby infrastructure.
It was down for 4 hours in a row several times over these 18 years, but otherwise the uptime was close to six sigma (under 3 hours per year).
It's surprising how rock solid hosting providers are. Can't imagine hosting anything substantial on AWS after all these years.
