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 Photography Studios size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 800,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 720 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does.
- 27.8 req/sec at peak
- 32 GB working set
- 720 GB/month growth
- Linux
Which tiers suit Photography Studios
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 | Shared plans cap disk long before a video or photo library needs them to, and cannot sustain the read throughput. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Fine for a catalogue and a website; the library itself will outgrow the disk faster than the CPU. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Storage-weighted builds with guaranteed throughput, which is what serving large files consistently actually requires. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The right tier once the library runs to terabytes, or when transcoding runs alongside delivery. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | For transcoding, rendering and archives at a scale where disk and CPU are both saturated for hours at a time. |

Photography Studios in Las Vegas
We work with businesses across the Strip, Downtown, Summerlin, Henderson and Spring Valley. Las Vegas is a high-traffic, conversion-driven market where speed and clarity matter.
Media & Entertainment is one of the sectors Las Vegas is known for, so this is a workload we are asked about here more than most.
The closest of our 24 data centres to Las Vegas is Los Angeles, about 229 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Las Vegas has a population of about 641,903, which is why the large build above is the one most likely to fit a Photography Studios 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.
