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 E-commerce Businesses size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 18,000 requests a day, peaks run about 5× the average hour, so the build is sized for the busiest moment rather than the typical one.

Which tiers suit E-commerce Businesses
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 | Workable | Fine for a first storefront with a small catalogue, but checkout under load is where shared hosting shows its limits. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | Enough headroom for a catalogue, a cart and a payment gateway, with the caching layers a store needs to stay quick. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Guaranteed CPU is what keeps checkout responsive during a sale, when traffic arrives all at once rather than evenly. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The right tier for a high-traffic store, or one whose database has outgrown what a virtual instance can cache. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | Reserved for very large catalogues and enterprise commerce platforms running their own search and queue tiers. |

E-commerce & Retail in Banora Point, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the small band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online Stores | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Checkout is the only page that must never be slow: a timeout at payment is a sale that does not come back. |
| Marketplaces | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Every seller writes to the catalogue as well as reading it, so the database takes traffic from both sides at o... |
| Retail Stores | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Tills must keep working when the connection does not, so the server is the reconciliation point rather than th... |
| Supermarkets | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Delivery-slot booking behaves like a ticket sale — everyone wants the same Saturday morning. |
| Fashion Retail | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 200 GB | VPS | Variants multiply fast — one garment in eight sizes and six colours is forty-eight rows and forty-eight images... |
| Electronics Retail | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Launch days and price drops arrive as a wall of traffic against a catalogue people compare rather than browse. |
| Furniture Stores | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 200 GB | VPS | The images are the product, and they are large — most of the bandwidth here is pictures rather than pages. |
| Jewellery Stores | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 150 GB | VPS | Low volume, high value: the page is a showroom and the transaction is usually a conversation. |
| Subscription Boxes | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Everything happens on renewal day — billing, picking and dispatch all land together each month. |
| B2B Commerce | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Prices are per-customer rather than per-product, so nothing on the catalogue can be cached the way a retail st... |
| POS Systems | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Hundreds of terminals reconnecting after a network blip all replay their queues at once. |
