Small Marketing & Advertising

Shared Hosting
- Single Core
- 3 GB RAM

Shared Hosting
- Single Core
- 3 GB RAM
- 30 GB storage
- Managed
The same build as small — at 1.5 requests a second this workload still fits comfortably, so there is nothing to gain by paying for more.

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 Marketing & Advertising Agencies
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 | Recommended | A brochure site with light traffic runs comfortably on shared hosting, and the managed platform means no server to look after. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | A VPS gives you root, your own PHP and Nginx versions, and room for the site to grow past what shared hosting allows. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Workable | Worth moving to once the site fronts an application rather than pages, or when a slow neighbour has cost you a lead. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Workable | More machine than a brochure site needs, but the right answer when it sits alongside other systems on the same box. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Not this one | Bare metal is sized for sustained heavy compute; a brochure site would leave almost all of it idle. |

Marketing & Advertising in Champaign, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital Marketing | 1 vCPU · 3 GB · 30 GB | Shared Hosting | Landing pages must survive a campaign launch, which is the only hour anybody will ever visit them at scale. |
| Advertising Agencies | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 1500 GB | VPS | Creative files are large and every round of amends is another version nobody will delete. |
| Media Agencies | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 100 GB | VDS | Reporting pulls from many platform APIs on a schedule, so the load is nightly rather than interactive. |
| SEO Agencies | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 800 GB | VDS | Crawling client sites is the real workload, and it runs on a schedule regardless of who is logged in. |
| Affiliate Marketing | 1 vCPU · 3 GB · 30 GB | Shared Hosting | Every click is a redirect that has to be logged and forwarded in milliseconds — tiny requests, enormous counts... |
| Ad Tech | 2 vCPU · 10 GB · 3000 GB | VPS | Real-time bidding answers in tens of milliseconds or loses the auction, and the log volume is immense. |
| Email Marketing | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 250 GB | VDS | A send is a burst: a million messages queued at once, then a wave of opens and clicks a few minutes later. |
| Market Research | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 700 GB | VDS | Fieldwork opens and closes, so the platform is either idle or saturated with very little in between. |
