Server infrastructure for Drone Mapping in Grafton
Sizing infrastructure for Drone Mapping starts with the workload, then works back to cores, memory and disk. For a small Drone Mapping business in Grafton that is about 2 Cores, 32 GB of memory and 1500 GB of storage on VDS.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Grafton. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

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 Drone Mapping size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 2,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 77 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 22 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast; each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site; and a GPU is genuinely used rather than optional, and is quoted separately.
- 0.1 req/sec at peak

Which tiers suit Drone Mapping
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 | There is no version of this workload that fits on shared hosting. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Useful for development, notebooks and light inference, but not for training or sustained compute. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Workable | Suits CPU-bound preprocessing and data preparation with a guaranteed share of the machine. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Production compute wants the whole machine, with memory bandwidth that is not being shared. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | Training, inference and simulation belong on physical hardware, with GPUs available on request. |

Drone Mapping in Grafton
The closest of our 24 data centres to Grafton is Sydney, about 307 miles away. Choosing the closest data centre is the cheapest performance improvement available, and it costs nothing extra.
Grafton has a population of about 19,255, which is why the small build above is the one most likely to fit a Drone Mapping business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Australia/Sydney, 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 1988. Pricing is quoted in AUD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
