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 Architecture, CAD & Engineering Firms size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 26,667 requests a day, the software is Windows-based, which sets a floor on cores, memory and disk before the workload is considered.
- 0.6 req/sec at peak
- 16 GB working set
- 30 GB/month growth
- Windows
Which tiers suit Architecture, CAD & Engineering Firms
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 serves websites; it cannot present a Windows desktop to work on. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Adequate for light remote desktop work — email, documents, a line-of-business application. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Guaranteed CPU and memory are what make a remote desktop feel like a local one rather than a slideshow. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The right tier for CAD, BIM and rendering, where the whole machine is in use for hours at a stretch. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | For teams running several workstations on one physical host, with GPUs available on request. |
Architecture, CAD & Engineering Firms workloads you can host

Architecture, CAD & Engineering in Kearns, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the medium band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture Firms | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 1500 GB | VDS | A remote workstation is only useful if it feels local — this is where pinned resources stop being a nicety. |
| Engineering Design | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 1500 GB | Dedicated Server | FEA runs hold the entire mesh in memory, so RAM decides whether a model solves at all. |
| CAD Services | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 800 GB | VDS | Bureau work means many client files in many formats, and translation is the CPU cost of accepting all of them. |
| 3D Design | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 2000 GB | VDS | Rendering is where the hours go, and a GPU changes the working day rather than the benchmark. |
| Product Design | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 800 GB | VDS | Revisions matter more than volume: making the wrong version is a tooling cost, not a reprint. |
| Surveying | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | A single scan is a point cloud of hundreds of millions of points, and the client wants it years later. |
| GIS & Mapping | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 3000 GB | Dedicated Server | Spatial queries and tile rendering are both CPU-hungry, and a cached basemap is what makes the map usable. |
| Drone Mapping | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 3000 GB | Dedicated Server | Photogrammetry turns a thousand photographs into one model over many GPU-hours per flight. |
| Graphic Design | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 1000 GB | VDS | Layered source files are far larger than anything the client ever sees, and every round is kept. |
| UI/UX Design | 1 vCPU · 3 GB · 600 GB | Shared Hosting | Session recordings from user testing are video, and they accumulate faster than the design files do. |
