Having built serverless apps and "old-fashioned" apps, I seriously believe the old fashioned way is better.

The best of both worlds is to host on AWS EC2 or a similar product from your web service provider of choice.

EC2 is so much more expensive than a standard VPS from almost any other provider though. If you're not embedded heavily in other AWS products I don't think it's worth bothering with EC2 - LightSail is way more cost effective and gets you most of the features.
