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.
Why Payment Processing size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 50,000 requests a day, peaks run about 6× the average hour, so the build is sized for the busiest moment rather than the typical one; about 48 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast; and each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site.
- 3.5 req/sec at peak
- 48 GB working set
- 5 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Payment Processing
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 | Persistent connections and custom ports are exactly what a shared platform does not permit. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Enough for a small server or a test instance, though a noisy neighbour shows up immediately as jitter. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned cores are what keep tick rate and call quality steady; on a contended instance they are not. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Single-tenant hardware removes the last source of variance, which is what these workloads are judged on. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For operators running many instances at once on hardware they control. |
Payment Processing workloads you can host
Authorisation is measured in milliseconds and settlement is a nightly batch — two workloads with opposite shapes on one platform.
- Authorisation routing
- Tokenisation vault
- Settlement batching
- Chargeback handling
- Fraud scoring
