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 Cafés size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 116,667 requests a day, peaks run about 7× the average hour, so the build is sized for the busiest moment rather than the typical one.
- 9.5 req/sec at peak
- 2 GB working set
- 3 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Cafés
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 | Workable for a single small property or practice, though a shared database is the first thing to strain when bookings cluster. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | A VPS handles a booking engine and its database comfortably, with predictable performance when enquiries spike. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned resources matter here: a reservation that times out at the payment step is a booking you never see. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Workable | Right once you are running several properties, or a property management system alongside the public site. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Not this one | Reservation workloads are database-bound rather than compute-bound, so the extra physical capacity goes unused. |

Cafés in Airport
Restaurants & Food is one of the sectors Airport is known for, so this is a workload we are asked about here more than most.
The closest of our 24 data centres to Airport is Santa Clara, about 2,412 miles away. Choosing the closest data centre is the cheapest performance improvement available, and it costs nothing extra.
Airport has a population of about 28,916, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a Cafés business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Pacific/Honolulu, 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 state privacy laws such as the CCPA. Pricing is quoted in USD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
