Pitsea, United Kingdom
Server infrastructure for Bioinformatics in Pitsea
What Bioinformatics actually need from a server is predictable performance under load, and enough headroom to grow into. For a medium Bioinformatics business in Pitsea that is about 8 Cores, 128 GB of memory and 2000 GB of storage on Dedicated Server.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Pitsea. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

- GPU on request
About 6.2 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 384 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 Bioinformatics size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 26,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 120 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 96 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.
- 0.6 req/sec at peak
- 96 GB working set

Which tiers suit Bioinformatics
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 | There is no version of this workload that fits on shared hosting. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Useful for development, notebooks and light inference, but not for training or sustained compute. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Workable | Suits CPU-bound preprocessing and data preparation with a guaranteed share of the machine. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Production compute wants the whole machine, with memory bandwidth that is not being shared. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | Training, inference and simulation belong on physical hardware, with GPUs available on request. |
Bioinformatics workloads you can host
Reference databases are held in memory to be useful, and they are large before any of your own data arrives.

Bioinformatics in Pitsea
The closest of our 24 data centres to Pitsea is London, about 28 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Pitsea has a population of about 25,000, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a Bioinformatics 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.

Pitsea sits in England, and every one of our 24 locations costs the same — so the only thing worth optimising is which of them your users are closest to. At the medium size assumed above, that is roughly 26,667 requests a day crossing that link.
