Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.

Which tiers suit Car Dealerships

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.

Car Dealerships hosting — FAQs

What server specification do Car Dealerships usually need?

It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around 2 cores, 24 GB of memory and 700 GB of storage.

How were these figures worked out?

From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.

Can we change size later?

Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
