- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name

Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Wellington. 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.
Small Cybersecurity
1–10 people · ~5,000 visits a month
$289.30 USD USD
per month · VDS
- 2 Cores
- 24 GB RAM
- 450 GB storage
About 1.4 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 16.8 GB of working data.
Configure this build →Medium Cybersecurity
11–50 people · ~50,000 visits a month
$709.15 USD USD
per month · VDS
- 4 Cores
- 64 GB RAM
- 1500 GB storage
- Managed
About 13.9 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 48 GB of working data.
Configure this build →Large Cybersecurity Most likely here
51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month
$2,572.15 USD USD
per month · Dedicated Server
- 16 Cores
- 256 GB RAM
- 4000 GB storage
- Managed
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 500,000 visits a month and roughly 4,000,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 360 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; and about 192 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast.
- 138.9 req/sec at peak
- 192 GB working set
- 360 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.
- SIEM & log ingestion
- Vulnerability scanning
- Threat intelligence feeds
- Incident case management
- Forensic storage
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server.
Wellington is closest to Sydney. Every marker costs the same per month.

Cybersecurity in Wellington
We work with businesses across the CBD, Te Aro, Thorndon, Lower Hutt and Karori. Wellington is a compact, review-led market where local relevance and speed matter.
The closest of our 24 data centres to Wellington is Sydney, about 1,383 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Wellington has a population of about 381,900, which is why the large build above is the one most likely to fit a Cybersecurity business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Pacific/Auckland, 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 Privacy Act 2020. Pricing is quoted in NZD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.

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 large size assumed above, that is roughly 4,000,000 requests a day crossing that link.
