Which tiers suit Podcast Networks
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. |
