I have been hosting VPS for a long time, i prefer it because its a easy workflow for me now. For any beginner they should try and learn VPS as it introduces a lot of concepts from security to setting up websites. After you learn VPS you can easily do managed hosting etc
I think deploying with Kubernetes and Docker on bare metal is so much fun for any true nerd we cannot be taken away the joy of playing with our favorite toys by Vercel haha
@@airixxxx Of course! I use heavily Vercel for static/SSG websites, I just don't find it convenient for more complex apps, I prefer having an actual server to back those up.
@@mattiarasulo9934Really. I learned a lot of things. Now I better understand computer networks and operating systems. I Also configured Github Actions for CI/CD. It is amazing
Hello ,thanks for the insights.I've used vps on various websites the only difficult point is the configuration otherwise vps is cheaper and works perfectly 😊😊
My biggest concern with these services like Vercel is that they make devs lazy and at the end unprepared. I think is common sense to know as much as possible how everything works under the hood and how to set up things, what you really need and what is expedable. It's not about the money it's about knowledge. And let's be honest... if you know what you are doing setting up a vps to run a simple nextjs app should not take more that two hours with testing and everything.
However, many developers just want to get their projects done instead of dealing with the underlying technologies. A customer doesn't care, if you've set up a VPS correctly. I don't agree that services like Vercel make devs lazy. I guess it's the opposite. You can become more productive, when working with simpler / more efficient technologies, so you can focus on the project itself. If your projects require a VPS and you enjoy working with it, then go for it. But if I just want to deploy my web app, I don't need a VPS, and I don't become lazy either.
Now there are some other solutions like Coolify and Dokploy which are self hosting alternatives to Vercel / Netlify and seem to be promising. Please make a video on these.
hi max , i wanna say thank you for your courses and your teaching method really really help me this years , i think it would be nice to have a course to practice programming and design patterns thank you
I prefer VPS. I met a person who runs home improvement services and he told me his web hosting company charges extra for uploading more pictures on their gallery. I never knew ppl in IT have become this bad.
What's your opinion on self-hosting? Like you arrange a computer you yourself and a static IP address from your ISP. You don't pay much, aside from the computer which can be really cheap, e.g. a NUC/mini box for $400 or less. The down side is that you will have to set up and configure everything yourself. But that should not be that difficult, IMHO. 🤔
It depends if your server has to be up and running all the time. I mean, what if they cut off electricity in your town or you will not have internet for a few hours? shit happens.
@antbrw321 if you have watched the video, having a VPS means dealing with a lot of advanced stuff for hosting a company's website and/or application. And I might be wrong but I think it's way better to go with Vercel than hiring a guy to set up things and then have them to maintain it too. Some companies even hire that dev/devs full-time which of course is way more expensive. Recently, a company of a friend, who had a guy working full time with devOps and infrastructure had their app go down for days because the VPS had leaked. They ended up switching VPS provider but that wouldn't happen if they used Vercel/Netlify, etc. Also it would have been so much cheaper

I am very curious about VPS，and Max explains what it is and compare it to Vercel/Netlify，if possible maybe Max creates a deploying Nextjs 14 on a VPS ? 🤔🙄🤩👍🙏🫡😃🥰

What sources do you suggest for learning how to set up a VPS?

Hi Max,
I just want to say I'm addicted to your content.
This guy knows how to deliver complex content - simple.
Thank you so much - means a lot to me! :-)

Yeah, but sometimes you just just want to drag and drop the dist folder and to go do other stuff.
@@airixxxx Of course! I use heavily Vercel for static/SSG websites, I just don't find it convenient for more complex apps, I prefer having an actual server to back those up.
I tried both. Deploying with Docker was so fun

Thanks for this video. I would love to see a course on setting up your own VPS.
Noted!
maybe do you dont know, but Im developer and I love watch your videos to learn english. Your pronuntation is so nice and clear
Vercel only makes sense if you are not the one paying the bills
Based
Beautiful video, short and simple with precise info.
Glad you liked it

Also single point of failure, especially now with cyberattacks they will find out what that means the hard way.

@@Shulkerkiste What they want is to avoid working hours, and that's understandable, but it comes at a cost, trend hypes come at a cost in general.

You should also consider backup solutions as well if something were to happen to the main server.
@@tendaihamunakwadi2221 yea, but backups has to be to done on vps as well
Having a VPS, often means having a team to deal with it. Which obviously, is way more expensive than paying for Vercel, Netlify
Actually it’s not the case, vps is rather easy to setup with modern tools. Most providers even have vps pre configured for a specific stack
