Server infrastructure for GIS & Mapping in Western Australia
The right server for GIS & Mapping is decided by the work it has to do, not by the size of the plan you happen to land on. For a small GIS & Mapping business in Western Australia that is about 2 Cores, 32 GB of memory and 800 GB of storage on VDS.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Western Australia. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

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 GIS & Mapping size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 2,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 53 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 28 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.

Which tiers suit GIS & Mapping
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. |
GIS & Mapping workloads you can host
Spatial queries and tile rendering are both CPU-hungry, and a cached basemap is what makes the map usable.
- Spatial database
- Tile rendering & caching
- Layer management
- Geoprocessing jobs
- Web map services
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server.
Western Australia is closest to Sydney. Every marker costs the same per month.

GIS & Mapping in Western Australia
The closest of our 24 data centres to Western Australia is Sydney, about 2,029 miles away. The price is the same in all 24 locations, so distance is the only variable worth optimising.
Western Australia has a population of about 740, which is why the small build above is the one most likely to fit a GIS & Mapping business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Australia/Perth, so routine maintenance and backups are scheduled against your overnight rather than ours.
Data stays in the jurisdiction you choose, which matters if you are working to the Privacy Act 1988. Pricing is quoted in AUD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
Network reach from Western Australia

| Hong Kongapac | 3,732 miles | 90–180 ms |
every one of our 24 locations costs the same — so the only thing worth optimising is which of them your users are closest to. At the small size assumed above, that is roughly 2,667 requests a day crossing that link.
