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.
Which tiers suit Healthcare Providers
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. |

Healthcare in Centerville, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hospitals | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 2000 GB | VDS | Imaging dominates everything: a single CT study is hundreds of megabytes and none of it may ever be deleted. |
| Clinics | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Clinic load follows surgery hours exactly — busy from opening, quiet overnight, and the records must be there... |
| Dental Clinics | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 250 GB | VPS | Dental imaging accumulates per patient per visit, so a long-established practice holds far more data than its... |
| Veterinary Clinics | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 150 GB | VPS | One owner, several animals, and a reminder schedule per species — the record model is more tangled than it loo... |
| Diagnostic Laboratories | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 350 GB | VDS | Analysers submit results around the clock, and a sample that loses its chain of custody is a test that has to... |
| Pharmacies | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 80 GB | VPS | The controlled-drugs register is an auditable legal record, which makes retention and integrity the design con... |
| Medical Practices | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Referrals and letters mean documents rather than rows, and they have to be produced on demand years later. |
| Physiotherapy Clinics | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 200 GB | VPS | Programmes are delivered as video to patients at home, which turns a records system into a small media service... |
| Mental Health Practices | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Notes here are unusually sensitive and video sessions are real-time — confidentiality and latency at the same... |
| Medical Billing Companies | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Claim batches go out and remittances come back in bulk, so the load is scheduled rather than interactive. |
| Healthcare Software | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 200 GB | VDS | Selling to clinicians means carrying their obligations too: audit logging is a feature, not a debugging aid. |
| Telemedicine | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 300 GB | VPS | Real-time video is judged on jitter rather than throughput, and a dropped consultation is a missed appointment... |
