About 138.9 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 192 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 Cybersecurity size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 400,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 90 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; and about 48 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast.
- 13.9 req/sec at peak
- 48 GB working set
- 90 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Cybersecurity
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. |
Cybersecurity workloads you can host
Retention is the constraint: keeping a year of logs searchable is a storage and indexing problem that never stops growing.

- Vulnerability scanning
- Threat intelligence feeds
- Incident case management
- Forensic storage
