- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Bell. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

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.
Which tiers suit Manufacturers
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. |

Manufacturing & Industrial in Bell, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Manufacturing | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 350 GB | VDS | The shop floor writes continuously and the ERP reads constantly — the database is busy on both sides all shift... |
| Machinery Manufacturers | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 300 GB | VDS | A configurable machine has an enormous BOM tree, and pricing one is a real computation rather than a lookup. |
| Electronics Manufacturing | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 1000 GB | VDS | Every board carries a test record, so data volume scales with units produced rather than with customers. |
| Automotive Manufacturing | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 400 GB | Dedicated Server | Sequencing is unforgiving: parts arrive in build order, and a stalled system stops a physical line. |
| Textile Manufacturing | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 250 GB | VDS | Colour and lot variation multiply the product master far beyond the number of designs. |
| Metal Fabrication | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 250 GB | VDS | Nesting to minimise waste is an optimisation run, not a form submission — it takes real CPU per job. |
| Chemical Manufacturing | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 300 GB | VDS | Formulations are the crown jewels and batch records are regulated — access control matters as much as capacity... |
| Packaging Companies | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 1000 GB | VDS | Print-ready artwork files are large and every revision is kept, because reprinting the wrong version is expens... |
| Industrial Automation | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 1500 GB | VDS | The historian records every tag continuously, which is a small write repeated forever. |
| SCADA Systems | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 2000 GB | VDS | Alarms must be delivered in order and in real time; a late alarm is worse than no alarm. |
| Mining Companies | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 2000 GB | Dedicated Server | Haul fleets report position and payload constantly, and the geological model behind it all is very large. |
| Mining Software | 8 vCPU · 128 GB · 1500 GB | Dedicated Server | Block models and scheduling optimisation are batch compute jobs measured in hours. |

Distances are from Bell. Round trips are estimated from fibre distance, not measured — the figure your users see depends on where they are.
Manufacturers in Bell
The closest of our 24 data centres to Bell is Los Angeles, about 6 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Bell has a population of about 36,205, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a Manufacturing & Industrial business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is America/Los Angeles, 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.
