🖥️ Technical decision: Is it better to host your bot on your own VPS or use a cloud service? The answer depends on your priorities.

☁️ Cloud (SaaS)

Pros: Zero maintenance, always available, automatic updates, support included.
Cons: You depend on the provider, recurring costs, less control.

🖥️ Self-Hosted (Own VPS)

Pros: Full control, no external dependencies, customizable, potentially cheaper in the long run.
Cons: Requires technical knowledge, manual maintenance, uptime responsibility.

🏆 The Best of Both Worlds

DearmasTrader offers a cloud dashboard (accessible from any browser) that connects to a Worker running on your own server. So you have the convenience of cloud with the control of self-hosted.

🔧 Hybrid Architecture

Web dashboard for monitoring + Worker on your VPS for execution. The best of both worlds.
