- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations

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 Selby, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trucking Companies | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 250 GB | VPS | Hours-of-service data arrives from every cab continuously and is a compliance record rather than an operationa... |
| Freight Companies | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | Rating a lane means pricing against many carrier tariffs at once, per quote. |
| Courier Services | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 250 GB | VPS | Every parcel generates scan events at each hop, so the write volume is parcels multiplied by handoffs. |
| Delivery Companies | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Live ETAs recompute as vehicles move, which is continuous background work independent of customer traffic. |
| Fleet Management | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 600 GB | VDS | Telemetry from every vehicle at short intervals is a relentless, unglamorous write load that never pauses. |
| Warehousing | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 150 GB | VPS | Handheld scanners are the users here — hundreds of tiny transactions per picker per hour. |
| 3PL Providers | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | Every client wants their own view and their own integration, so the platform is many tenants in one warehouse. |
| Freight Forwarding | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 250 GB | VPS | A shipment file is a folder of documents in several formats that customs may ask for years later. |
| Transportation Management | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | Rate shopping and consolidation are optimisation problems run per shipment, not lookups. |
| Moving Companies | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Sharply seasonal around lease-end dates, with almost everything booked for the same weekends. |
| Ride-Hailing | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 100 GB | VDS | Matching and live location are continuous real-time work whose cost scales with active drivers, not page views... |
| Shipping Lines | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 300 GB | VDS | Containers are tracked across weeks and continents, so the record lives far longer than any web session. |
| Port Logistics | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 150 GB | VDS | The yard plan changes with every move, and a stalled system idles very expensive equipment. |
| Aviation Companies | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | Maintenance and crew records are airworthiness evidence, retained and auditable for the life of the aircraft. |
| Airlines | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 200 GB | VDS | Disruption is the real test: one cancellation rebooks thousands of passengers in minutes. |
| Aircraft Maintenance | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 250 GB | VDS | Every part carries a traceable history, and the paperwork is what makes the aircraft legal to fly. |
