Server infrastructure for Healthcare Providers in Quebec
Infrastructure for Healthcare Providers is a question of matching the machine to the application, then putting it near the people using it. For a small Healthcare business in Quebec that is about Single Core, 10 GB of memory and 80 GB of storage on VPS.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations

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.
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 Quebec, 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... |

Healthcare Providers in Quebec
The closest of our 24 data centres to Quebec is Toronto, about 343 miles away. Choosing the closest data centre is the cheapest performance improvement available, and it costs nothing extra.
Quebec has a population of about 4,447, which is why the small build above is the one most likely to fit a Healthcare business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is America/Toronto, 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 PIPEDA. Pricing is quoted in CAD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
Network reach from Quebec
Estimated from fibre distance rather than measured, and stated as a range. Your own access network decides the rest.

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 14,000 requests a day crossing that link.
