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 Real Estate & Property Businesses
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 | 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. |
Real Estate & Property Businesses workloads you can host

Real Estate & Property in Melbourne, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the large band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real Estate Agencies | 6 vCPU · 24 GB · 2000 GB | VDS | Listings are mostly photographs, and they are republished to portals every time anything changes. |
| Property Management | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 450 GB | Dedicated Server | Rent day and statement day are the two dates the system exists for; the rest of the month is maintenance ticke... |
| Commercial Property | 8 vCPU · 128 GB · 1500 GB | Dedicated Server | Leases are long, complex documents and the service-charge calculation is the annual piece of real arithmetic. |
| Property Developers | 4 vCPU · 24 GB · 3000 GB | VDS | Marketing runs on large renders long before there is anything to photograph. |
| Rental Management | 4 vCPU · 24 GB · 2000 GB | VDS | Condition reports are photographic evidence, kept for the length of the tenancy and the dispute window after i... |
| Real Estate Portals | 24 vCPU · 256 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | Map-bounded search over a live inventory is the expensive query, and everybody runs it on the same evenings. |
| Property Valuation | 16 vCPU · 196 GB · 2000 GB | Dedicated Server | A valuation is defensible only if the comparable evidence behind it is retrievable years later. |
| Facility Management | 16 vCPU · 196 GB · 3000 GB | Dedicated Server | Building sensors report continuously, so the system is ingesting long after the maintenance team has gone home... |

Melbourne has a population of about 5,435,590, which is why the large build above is the one most likely to fit a Real Estate & Property business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Australia/Melbourne, 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 the Privacy Act 1988. Pricing is quoted in AUD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
