- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Milwaukee. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

About 6.2 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 128 GB of working data.
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 Game Development size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 266,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 1,200 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 128 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast; and each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site.
- 6.2 req/sec at peak
- 128 GB working set
- 1,200 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Game Development
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 | There is no version of this workload that fits on shared hosting. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Useful for development, notebooks and light inference, but not for training or sustained compute. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Workable | Suits CPU-bound preprocessing and data preparation with a guaranteed share of the machine. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Production compute wants the whole machine, with memory bandwidth that is not being shared. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | Training, inference and simulation belong on physical hardware, with GPUs available on request. |
Game Development workloads you can host
Game assets are enormous binaries, and version control for them is a storage problem more than a code one.
- Asset version control
- Build farm
- Playtest builds
- Crash & telemetry capture
- Localisation pipeline
