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 March, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 · 6 GB · 400 GB | VPS | Creative files are large and every round of amends is another version nobody will delete. |
| Media Agencies | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 50 GB | VPS | Reporting pulls from many platform APIs on a schedule, so the load is nightly rather than interactive. |
| SEO Agencies | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 300 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 | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 900 GB | VPS | Real-time bidding answers in tens of milliseconds or loses the auction, and the log volume is immense. |
| Email Marketing | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 100 GB | VPS | A send is a burst: a million messages queued at once, then a wave of opens and clicks a few minutes later. |
| Market Research | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 250 GB | VPS | Fieldwork opens and closes, so the platform is either idle or saturated with very little in between. |
