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 Legal & Professional Services Firms
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. |

Legal & Professional Services in Monroe, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Law Firms | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 250 GB | VPS | Document search across every matter the firm has ever run is the query that has to stay fast as the archive gr... |
| Legal Technology | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 700 GB | VDS | e-Discovery processing is heavy batch work over very large document sets, run in bursts around deadlines. |
| Case Management | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 200 GB | VPS | Court deadlines are immovable, so the diary is the part of the system that genuinely cannot fail. |
| Document Management | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 500 GB | VDS | The search index is often larger than the documents, and OCR is the CPU cost of making an archive findable. |
| Compliance & RegTech | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 200 GB | VPS | Evidence is the deliverable: a control that worked but was not recorded did not happen. |
| Consulting Firms | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Utilisation reporting across consultants and engagements is the query the business is actually run on. |
| Management Consulting | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 250 GB | VPS | Client data arrives in bulk, lives in a walled-off space, and must be provably removed at the end. |
| IT Consulting | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Lab environments get built and torn down constantly, so the machine sees very uneven demand. |
| Engineering Consulting | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 350 GB | VDS | Simulation runs take hours and hold large models in memory while they do it. |
| Recruitment Agencies | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 200 GB | VPS | CV search is full-text across every candidate ever registered, and it is the recruiter's core action. |
| Staffing Agencies | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Shift bookings are filled in the hours before they start, so demand is short-notice and clustered. |
| HR Services | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Quiet most of the year, then appraisal season puts every manager in the system at once. |
| Background Check Companies | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Each check waits on external databases, so concurrency matters more than raw speed. |
