Hey Freek, I'm a reader of your blog, and following Spatie work for quite some years now, so thanks for all your work for the Laravel community. You mention several backup solutions in your article, so I wanted to take the opportunity to share a tool I've been working on (simplebackups.io!) that will handle all your backups (files & databases) as a service and uploading these to any cloud storage. Bottom line is indeed to have backup policy in place wether it is using a tool or not, but let's not forget to store them in a safe place too!

Thanks again, Laurent

Hi Freek,

I'm in a position where I can decide to start hosting websites on Digitalocean on shared hosting or on a droplet per client base like you talk about.

Now I'm torn between the manageability a lot of linux servers or the flexibility and security of hosting one site/client per server.

Do you still provide one droplet per client? Is this still a decision you support? And is it manageable to keep those servers up to date?

Thanks!

Anthony
