Which tiers suit Ad Tech
Including the ones that do not, and why — that is usually the more useful half.
| Infrastructure | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server | Not this one | Persistent connections and custom ports are exactly what a shared platform does not permit. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Enough for a small server or a test instance, though a noisy neighbour shows up immediately as jitter. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned cores are what keep tick rate and call quality steady; on a contended instance they are not. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Single-tenant hardware removes the last source of variance, which is what these workloads are judged on. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For operators running many instances at once on hardware they control. |
