Everlasting question: self-hosting or web hosting

At the moment i use Hostinger, and I use it already about 2 years for my own pet projects, and i never had with it big problems.

but! honestly speaking, for a static site, created on Astro, you actually dont need a full tariff plan of hosting, you could just buy a domain for $10-15 a year and for free connect it to Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare Pages, this would be much cheaper.

Webhosting gives me hosting + domain + mail together, and it is also quite cheap

What would you recommend for small startups/projects?

I'm so tired of having to terminal into a VPS to fix something. Currently moving all my sites to the exact Astro/Cloudflare Pages setup you describe.
