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 Automotive Businesses size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 1,800,000 requests a day, peaks run about 5× the average hour, so the build is sized for the busiest moment rather than the typical one.
- 104.2 req/sec at peak
- 32 GB working set
- 32 GB/month growth
- Linux
Which tiers suit Automotive Businesses
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 | Workable | Fine for a first storefront with a small catalogue, but checkout under load is where shared hosting shows its limits. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | Enough headroom for a catalogue, a cart and a payment gateway, with the caching layers a store needs to stay quick. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Guaranteed CPU is what keeps checkout responsive during a sale, when traffic arrives all at once rather than evenly. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The right tier for a high-traffic store, or one whose database has outgrown what a virtual instance can cache. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | Reserved for very large catalogues and enterprise commerce platforms running their own search and queue tiers. |

Automotive in North Shore, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the large band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Car Dealerships | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 3000 GB | Dedicated Server | Every car needs its own photo set, so the media library grows with stock turnover rather than sales. |
| Used Car Dealers | 6 vCPU · 48 GB · 2000 GB | VDS | Stock changes constantly and every change republishes to the classified portals. |
| Auto Repair Shops | 8 vCPU · 64 GB · 600 GB | VDS | Parts lookup hits supplier catalogues live while the car is on the ramp and the customer is waiting. |
| Auto Parts Stores | 16 vCPU · 256 GB · 1000 GB | Dedicated Server | Fitment data is enormous: every part against every vehicle variant it fits, and the lookup must be instant. |
| Vehicle Leasing | 8 vCPU · 128 GB · 700 GB | Dedicated Server | Contracts run for years and the residual model behind them is repriced far more often than the contract change... |
| Vehicle Tracking | 16 vCPU · 196 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | Position updates every few seconds per vehicle make this a write-dominated workload with a long archive. |
| Automotive Software | 16 vCPU · 196 GB · 1000 GB | Dedicated Server | Manufacturer feeds arrive on their schedule rather than yours, usually overnight and all at once. |
