VDS

2 Cores
24 GB RAM
80 GB storage

A single site or team, with traffic that arrives in a predictable working-hours pattern.

Medium

11–50 people · ~50,000 visits a month

VDS

4 Cores
48 GB RAM
200 GB storage

A growing business running several systems, where an outage now costs real money.

Large

51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month

Dedicated Server

16 Cores
196 GB RAM
700 GB storage

Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.

Which tiers suit Online Travel Agencies

Infrastructure	Verdict	Why
Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server	Workable	Workable for a single small property or practice, though a shared database is the first thing to strain when bookings cluster.
VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access	Recommended	A VPS handles a booking engine and its database comfortably, with predictable performance when enquiries spike.
VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone	Recommended	Pinned resources matter here: a reservation that times out at the payment step is a booking you never see.
Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification	Workable	Right once you are running several properties, or a property management system alongside the public site.
Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads	Not this one	Reservation workloads are database-bound rather than compute-bound, so the extra physical capacity goes unused.

Online Travel Agencies hosting — FAQs

What server specification do Online Travel Agencies usually need?

It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around 4 cores, 48 GB of memory and 200 GB of storage.

How were these figures worked out?

From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.

Can we change size later?

Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
