Server infrastructure for AgTech in Rayleigh
Most AgTech outgrow their first server in one specific place — and it is rarely the one the plan name suggests. For a medium AgTech business in Rayleigh that is about 4 Cores, 64 GB of memory and 3000 GB of storage on VDS.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Rayleigh. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

Three sizes of business, each sized from an assumed traffic figure rather than a measured one. If you know your own numbers, tell us and the estimate changes with them.

- 20 Cores
- 256 GB RAM
- 4000 GB storage
- Managed
About 138.9 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 192 GB of working data.
Configure this build →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.
Why AgTech size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 400,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 160 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 48 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast; and each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site.
- 13.9 req/sec at peak
- 48 GB working set
- 160 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit AgTech
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 | Shared hosting cannot run background workers, queues or long-lived processes, which a SaaS application depends on. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | The natural home for an early-stage product: root access, your own runtime, and the ability to resize as you grow. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned resources give you the predictable latency your customers will hold you to in an SLA. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Right once the database and the application tier are competing for the same memory on a single virtual instance. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For platforms running their own virtualization, or holding a large working set entirely in memory. |

AgTech in Rayleigh
The closest of our 24 data centres to Rayleigh is London, about 32 miles away. The price is the same in all 24 locations, so distance is the only variable worth optimising.
Rayleigh has a population of about 32,380, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a AgTech business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Europe/London, so routine maintenance and backups are scheduled against your overnight rather than ours.
Data stays in the jurisdiction you choose, which matters if you are working to the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Pricing is quoted in GBP, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
