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 5,000 visits a month and roughly 14,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 35 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 20 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.
- 0.4 req/sec at peak
- 19.6 GB working set

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. |
