About 40.5 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 224 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 Document Management size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 1,400,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 400 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 224 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast; and each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site.
- 40.5 req/sec at peak
- 224 GB working set
- 400 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Document Management
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 gives you no control over where data sits or who else is on the machine, which regulated records cannot accept. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Workable for a small practice, with the caveat that you own the patching and audit trail unless you add management. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Isolated, pinned resources in a data centre you choose, which is usually what a data-residency obligation actually requires. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | A single-tenant physical machine is the clearest answer to "who else can reach this data" — nobody. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For larger estates running several regulated systems on hardware you control end to end. |
Document Management workloads you can host
The search index is often larger than the documents, and OCR is the CPU cost of making an archive findable.
- Version control & check-in
- Full-text search index
- Retention policies
- Access audit
- OCR pipeline
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server.
Atlanta has a data centre of its own. Every marker costs the same per month.
