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 InsurTech size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 40,000 requests a day, about 11 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.
- 1.4 req/sec at peak
- 11.2 GB working set
- 4 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit InsurTech
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 cannot run background workers, queues or long-lived processes, which a SaaS application depends on. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | The natural home for an early-stage product: root access, your own runtime, and the ability to resize as you grow. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned resources give you the predictable latency your customers will hold you to in an SLA. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Right once the database and the application tier are competing for the same memory on a single virtual instance. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For platforms running their own virtualization, or holding a large working set entirely in memory. |

InsurTech in Hawaii
The closest of our 24 data centres to Hawaii is Santa Clara, about 2,404 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Hawaii has a population of about 1,726, which is why the small build above is the one most likely to fit a InsurTech business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Pacific/Honolulu, 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.
Network reach from Hawaii

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 40,000 requests a day crossing that link.
