Which tiers suit Financial & Insurance Businesses
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 | 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. |

Finance & Insurance in L'Ancienne-Lorette, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the small band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 200 GB | VDS | The ledger has to balance and be provably durable, so this is the workload least tolerant of a lost write. |
| Credit Unions | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Smaller than a bank and member-owned, but under the same obligation to keep an exact, auditable ledger. |
| FinTech | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | The API is the product, so uptime is contractual and every failed webhook is somebody's missing money. |
| Payment Processing | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 100 GB | VDS | Authorisation is measured in milliseconds and settlement is a nightly batch — two workloads with opposite shap... |
| Lending | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Decisioning calls out to bureaux and waits, so throughput depends on somebody else's API as much as your own. |
| Mortgage Companies | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 250 GB | VPS | A single case is a folder of large documents that accumulates over months and must be kept for many years afte... |
| Financial Advisory | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | The compliance file is the deliverable as much as the advice — every recommendation has to be evidenced. |
| Wealth Management | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | Valuations run against live market data, so the quiet system becomes busy the moment markets move. |
| Accounting Firms | 2 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Much of the software is still Windows desktop, so the server is often presenting sessions rather than serving... |
| Tax Firms | 2 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Brutally seasonal: the filing deadline concentrates most of the year's work into a few weeks. |
| Payroll Providers | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 80 GB | VPS | The pay run is a fixed date with no tolerance for slipping, and it touches every employee record at once. |
| Insurance Agencies | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Renewals arrive in monthly cohorts, so the workload is a series of predictable waves rather than a flat line. |
| Insurance Brokers | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Every quote fans out to several insurers and waits for the slowest one to answer. |
| InsurTech | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Pricing runs a model per quote, so the cost of a page view is real computation rather than a database read. |
| Claims Management | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 300 GB | VPS | Claims arrive with photographs and documents attached, so storage grows with incidents rather than with custom... |
