Server infrastructure for Advertising Agencies

Sized from the workload rather than sold as a plan name: what Advertising Agencies actually run, what that needs, and which tier it belongs on.

Recommended builds by size

Three sizes of operation, each sized from an assumed traffic figure.

Small

1–10 people · ~5,000 visits a month


VPS

  • Single Core
  • 6 GB RAM
  • 400 GB storage

A single site or team, with traffic that arrives in a predictable working-hours pattern.

Medium

11–50 people · ~50,000 visits a month


VPS

  • Single Core
  • 12 GB RAM
  • 1500 GB storage

A growing business running several systems, where an outage now costs real money.

Large

51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month


VDS

  • 4 Cores
  • 48 GB RAM
  • 4000 GB storage

Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.

Which tiers suit Advertising Agencies

InfrastructureVerdictWhy
Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server Recommended A brochure site with light traffic runs comfortably on shared hosting, and the managed platform means no server to look after.
VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access Recommended A VPS gives you root, your own PHP and Nginx versions, and room for the site to grow past what shared hosting allows.
VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone Workable Worth moving to once the site fronts an application rather than pages, or when a slow neighbour has cost you a lead.
Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification Workable More machine than a brochure site needs, but the right answer when it sits alongside other systems on the same box.
Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads Not this one Bare metal is sized for sustained heavy compute; a brochure site would leave almost all of it idle.

Advertising Agencies hosting — FAQs

What server specification do Advertising Agencies usually need?
It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around single core, 12 GB of memory and 1500 GB of storage.
How were these figures worked out?
From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.
Can we change size later?
Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
