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 E-commerce Businesses size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 180,000 requests a day, peaks run about 5× the average hour, so the build is sized for the busiest moment rather than the typical one.
- 10.4 req/sec at peak
- 8 GB working set
- 8 GB/month growth
- Linux
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 Bend, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the medium band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online Stores | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 150 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 | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 200 GB | VDS | 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 · 12 GB · 150 GB | VPS | Tills must keep working when the connection does not, so the server is the reconciliation point rather than th... |
| Supermarkets | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 250 GB | VDS | Delivery-slot booking behaves like a ticket sale — everyone wants the same Saturday morning. |
| Fashion Retail | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 450 GB | VPS | Variants multiply fast — one garment in eight sizes and six colours is forty-eight rows and forty-eight images... |
| Electronics Retail | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 200 GB | VDS | Launch days and price drops arrive as a wall of traffic against a catalogue people compare rather than browse. |
| Furniture Stores | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 600 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 · 12 GB · 300 GB | VPS | Low volume, high value: the page is a showroom and the transaction is usually a conversation. |
| Subscription Boxes | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 150 GB | VPS | Everything happens on renewal day — billing, picking and dispatch all land together each month. |
| B2B Commerce | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 200 GB | VDS | Prices are per-customer rather than per-product, so nothing on the catalogue can be cached the way a retail st... |
| POS Systems | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 250 GB | VDS | Hundreds of terminals reconnecting after a network blip all replay their queues at once. |
