cloud server.
In fact, you will have the same, as it were, a dedicated machine with an OS under your control. The only difference is that physically it will not be a separate machine, but a set of allocated resources in a calster of machines. This means that if one machine in the calster breaks down, you will receive your resources as you will be automatically allocated something from the other machine. And if you have a real grandfather, and it breaks, you will have downtime until they fix it. If, for example, a disk falls apart, it can take up to 2-3 days of downtime, depending on where to buy and what kind of support is there.
I would suggest using AWS.

Which car is better: Kamaz or Zhiguli?
The choice depends on resources (financial and labor) and needs (load, stability, productivity), at least.

Cloud of course. But the processors there are usually only 2GHz and the limits for all sorts of hard disk IO, etc. are not so important, but still sometimes ...

The answer depends entirely on the answer to the question "For what?"

If stability - choose a cloud, but also pay many times more expensive (unless you have a hompag, of course), and for much lower performance. If speed and cost, then a dedicated server. If you don't know how to set up the software and there is no good admin, then you will get bad uptime here and there.

In the context of one server, you will have approximately the same statistical uptime, that is, 50 to 50 either works or not, thinking about highavailability without duplication and other goodies to reduce the risk of failure is stupid. So in that context, it makes no difference to you the server or the cloud.

We took a dedicated server on inxyhost.ru
Everything suits, uninterrupted work.
They provide dedicated servers (separate physical servers) in data centers in Russia, Europe and the USA.
