Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Dunedin. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

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 Logistics & Transport Operators
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 | An ERP or practice-management system needs a database tuned to its own workload, which a shared platform will not allow. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Enough for a small team, though the working set of a records system tends to outgrow a modest instance quickly. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Guaranteed memory is what keeps the database in cache, which is the single biggest factor in how fast these systems feel. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The usual answer: a records system rewards a large, uncontended memory pool and consistent disk latency. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For large deployments, or where the database and application tiers are virtualized onto one physical host. |

Logistics & Transportation in Dunedin, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the medium band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trucking Companies | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 600 GB | VDS | Hours-of-service data arrives from every cab continuously and is a compliance record rather than an operationa... |
| Freight Companies | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 300 GB | VDS | Rating a lane means pricing against many carrier tariffs at once, per quote. |
| Courier Services | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 700 GB | VDS | Every parcel generates scan events at each hop, so the write volume is parcels multiplied by handoffs. |
| Delivery Companies | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 250 GB | VDS | Live ETAs recompute as vehicles move, which is continuous background work independent of customer traffic. |
| Fleet Management | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 1500 GB | VDS | Telemetry from every vehicle at short intervals is a relentless, unglamorous write load that never pauses. |
| Warehousing | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 300 GB | VDS | Handheld scanners are the users here — hundreds of tiny transactions per picker per hour. |
| 3PL Providers | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 350 GB | VDS | Every client wants their own view and their own integration, so the platform is many tenants in one warehouse. |
| Freight Forwarding | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 600 GB | VDS | A shipment file is a folder of documents in several formats that customs may ask for years later. |
| Transportation Management | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 300 GB | VDS | Rate shopping and consolidation are optimisation problems run per shipment, not lookups. |
| Moving Companies | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 200 GB | VPS | Sharply seasonal around lease-end dates, with almost everything booked for the same weekends. |
| Ride-Hailing | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 200 GB | VDS | Matching and live location are continuous real-time work whose cost scales with active drivers, not page views... |
| Shipping Lines | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 800 GB | VDS | Containers are tracked across weeks and continents, so the record lives far longer than any web session. |
| Port Logistics | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 400 GB | Dedicated Server | The yard plan changes with every move, and a stalled system idles very expensive equipment. |
| Aviation Companies | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 350 GB | VDS | Maintenance and crew records are airworthiness evidence, retained and auditable for the life of the aircraft. |
| Airlines | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 450 GB | Dedicated Server | Disruption is the real test: one cancellation rebooks thousands of passengers in minutes. |
| Aircraft Maintenance | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 600 GB | VDS | Every part carries a traceable history, and the paperwork is what makes the aircraft legal to fly. |

The closest of our 24 data centres to Dunedin is Sydney, about 1,311 miles away. The price is the same in all 24 locations, so distance is the only variable worth optimising.
Dunedin has a population of about 132,800, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a Logistics & Transportation business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Pacific/Auckland, 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 the Privacy Act 2020. Pricing is quoted in NZD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
