Server infrastructure for Blockchain in Hamilton
The right server for Blockchain is decided by the work it has to do, not by the size of the plan you happen to land on. For a large Blockchain business in Hamilton that is about 20 Cores, 320 GB of memory and 4000 GB of storage on Bare Metal.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name

Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Hamilton. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

Three sizes of business, each sized from an assumed traffic figure rather than a measured one. If you know your own numbers, tell us and the estimate changes with them.

per month · Bare Metal
- 20 Cores
- 320 GB RAM
- 4000 GB storage
- Managed
About 138.9 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 256 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 Blockchain size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 4,000,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 600 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; and about 256 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast.
- 138.9 req/sec at peak
- 256 GB working set
- 600 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Blockchain
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. |
Blockchain workloads you can host
A node syncs the entire chain and then never stops growing, so disk is the planning constraint rather than CPU.
- Full nodes
- RPC endpoints
- Indexers
- Wallet services
- Chain data archive
