Which tiers suit Fast Food
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 | Workable for a single small property or practice, though a shared database is the first thing to strain when bookings cluster. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | A VPS handles a booking engine and its database comfortably, with predictable performance when enquiries spike. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned resources matter here: a reservation that times out at the payment step is a booking you never see. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Workable | Right once you are running several properties, or a property management system alongside the public site. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Not this one | Reservation workloads are database-bound rather than compute-bound, so the extra physical capacity goes unused. |
