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 Farms size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 21,333 requests a day, peaks run about 6× the average hour, so the build is sized for the busiest moment rather than the typical one.
- 1.5 req/sec at peak

Which tiers suit Farms
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. |
