Server infrastructure for Investment Firms

Sized from the workload rather than sold as a plan name: what Investment Firms actually run, what that needs, and which tier it belongs on.

Recommended builds by size

Three sizes of operation, each sized from an assumed traffic figure.

Small

1–10 people · ~5,000 visits a month


VDS

  • 2 Cores
  • 24 GB RAM
  • 100 GB storage

A single site or team, with traffic that arrives in a predictable working-hours pattern.

Medium

11–50 people · ~50,000 visits a month


VDS

  • 4 Cores
  • 48 GB RAM
  • 250 GB storage

A growing business running several systems, where an outage now costs real money.

Large

51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month


Dedicated Server

  • 16 Cores
  • 196 GB RAM
  • 900 GB storage

Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.

Which tiers suit Investment Firms

InfrastructureVerdictWhy
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.

Investment Firms hosting — FAQs

What server specification do Investment Firms usually need?
It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around 4 cores, 48 GB of memory and 250 GB of storage.
How were these figures worked out?
From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.
Can we change size later?
Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
