These figures are assumptions stated out loud, not predictions about your business. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server later, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address — so starting one size below the estimate is normally the cheaper mistake.

Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 13,333,333 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 800 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does.

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.
