Which tiers suit Financial & Insurance Businesses

Infrastructure	Verdict	Why
Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server	Not this one	Shared hosting gives you no control over where data sits or who else is on the machine, which regulated records cannot accept.
VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access	Workable	Workable for a small practice, with the caveat that you own the patching and audit trail unless you add management.
VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone	Recommended	Isolated, pinned resources in a data centre you choose, which is usually what a data-residency obligation actually requires.
Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification	Recommended	A single-tenant physical machine is the clearest answer to "who else can reach this data" — nobody.
Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads	Workable	For larger estates running several regulated systems on hardware you control end to end.

Inside Finance & Insurance

Financial & Insurance Businesses hosting — FAQs

What server specification do Financial & Insurance Businesses usually need?

It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around 2 cores, 24 GB of memory and 200 GB of storage.

How were these figures worked out?

From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.

Can we change size later?

Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
