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 Energy Management size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 21,333 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 42 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; and about 17 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast.
- 0.6 req/sec at peak
- 16.8 GB working set
- 42 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Energy 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 | An ERP or practice-management system needs a database tuned to its own workload, which a shared platform will not allow. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Enough for a small team, though the working set of a records system tends to outgrow a modest instance quickly. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Guaranteed memory is what keeps the database in cache, which is the single biggest factor in how fast these systems feel. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The usual answer: a records system rewards a large, uncontended memory pool and consistent disk latency. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For large deployments, or where the database and application tiers are virtualized onto one physical host. |

Energy Management in Alliance
Energy & Utilities is one of the sectors Alliance is known for, so this is a workload we are asked about here more than most.
The closest of our 24 data centres to Alliance is Toronto, about 209 miles away. Every kilometre between your users and the server is latency you cannot optimise away in software.
Alliance has a population of about 22,055, which is why the small build above is the one most likely to fit a Energy Management business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is America/New York, 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 state privacy laws such as the CCPA. Pricing is quoted in USD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
