Choose how the processor is shared
Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Ubuntu Server 24.04 (LTS) 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.

Book by the hourRaise memory, cores or disk on the same server as you grow — by hand, usually within the hour, without a migration.
What fits alongside what
A product server is rarely running one thing. The application, its database, a cache and a queue all share the same memory, and the split between them decides how far the machine goes before anything has to move.
One machine, one hop
An application and its database on the same server talk over a socket rather than a network. That is faster and cheaper than splitting them, and it is the right starting point for almost every product.
The database sets the floor
Postgres and MySQL want memory they can keep. Give the database its share first and size the rest around it, rather than discovering the shortfall under load.
Split when they compete
The moment the application and the database are fighting for the same memory — or you want to restart one without the other — it is time for a second server. Not before.
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to the customers using the product day to day, or to the database it talks to if that lives elsewhere.
Portage is closest to Chicago. Every marker costs the same per month.
