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 Electronics Retail size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 1,800,000 requests a day, peaks run about 8× the average hour, so the build is sized for the busiest moment rather than the typical one.
- 166.7 req/sec at peak
- 64 GB working set
- 32 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Electronics Retail
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. |
Electronics Retail workloads you can host
Launch days and price drops arrive as a wall of traffic against a catalogue people compare rather than browse.
