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.
Which tiers suit API Platforms
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. |

An API is measured in requests per second rather than page views, and the failure mode is a noisy client rather than a busy week.

API Platforms in Juneau
Technology & Software is one of the sectors Juneau is known for, so this is a workload we are asked about here more than most.
The closest of our 24 data centres to Juneau is Seattle, about 891 miles away. Every kilometre between your users and the server is latency you cannot optimise away in software.
Juneau has a population of about 31,555, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a API Platforms business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is America/Juneau, 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 state privacy laws such as the CCPA. Pricing is quoted in USD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
