Shared hosting or your own server?

Question

Network administration

Hello.
Please tell me the best way to do it.
There is a project. I'm thinking about placing the project on my server and, in turn, placing it in a data center in Kyiv. Why am I so flustered?! because I'm afraid of copying the project from the side of the host, which is not excluded when using virtual hosting in some kind of hosting company.
Therefore, I want to consult with you how it is safer to act in order to avoid copying the project as much as possible.
Expensive projects, I think, are not placed just at some kind of hosting site.
If I didn't explain my question very clearly, I apologize.
Thank you.

Answer 1

Just use the encrypted disk on the host. If you are afraid that this is not enough, you need your own data center.

Answer 2

Rent a dedicated server, encrypt disks. Buying a server is also an option if you have money.

Answer 3

Expand as your workload and audience increase. If your project will be promoted, then no copying will help. Start small.

Answer 4

hosters don’t fucking lose your projects, they have other tasks
; take dedicate, it’s cheaper than your own server

Answer 5

take a regular VPS with KVM virtualization - in this case, even the hoster will not get access to your data without the root password for your virtual machine. If KVM, then the hoster sees only one virtual machine file (with the size allocated according to the tariff plan), which cannot be opened in any way.
In general, hosters don't need your projects.

Answer 6

Do you have another analogue of VKontakte?
Why are you afraid of that?

Answer 7

Because I worked on the project for a long time)
For me it's more expensive than VKontakte :)
I don't trust hosters or something. (which is considered one of the best hosters in Ukraine), an employee who wants a copy of some project can get it simply by having a workmate who maintains the server.

Answer 8

put yourself under the bed, otherwise nothing
