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 Hospitals size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 14,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 140 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; and about 34 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast.
- 0.3 req/sec at peak

Which tiers suit Hospitals
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. |
Hospitals workloads you can host

Hospitals in South Dakota
The closest of our 24 data centres to South Dakota is Chicago, about 569 miles away. Every kilometre between your users and the server is latency you cannot optimise away in software.
South Dakota has a population of about 13,313, which is why the small build above is the one most likely to fit a Hospitals business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is America/Chicago, 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 state privacy laws such as the CCPA. Pricing is quoted in USD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
