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 Wisbech, 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. |
