I’ve been building small websites for businesses and I’m trying to figure out the most practical hosting setup.

Some people recommend VPS setups while others suggest serverless platforms or managed hosting.

For small business websites with moderate traffic, what setup has worked best for you?

I’ve noticed some people strongly recommend separating email and web hosting instead of keeping everything on the same provider.

For example hosting the site on a VPS but using a separate service for email.

Is this mainly for reliability reasons or just easier management?

Curious what most people here prefer and why.
