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 Publishing
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. |
