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 in St Helens, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the medium band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real Estate Agencies | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 500 GB | VPS | Listings are mostly photographs, and they are republished to portals every time anything changes. |
| Property Management | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | Rent day and statement day are the two dates the system exists for; the rest of the month is maintenance ticke... |
| Commercial Property | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 350 GB | VDS | Leases are long, complex documents and the service-charge calculation is the annual piece of real arithmetic. |
| Property Developers | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 700 GB | VPS | Marketing runs on large renders long before there is anything to photograph. |
| Rental Management | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 400 GB | VPS | Condition reports are photographic evidence, kept for the length of the tenancy and the dispute window after i... |
| Real Estate Portals | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 1500 GB | VDS | Map-bounded search over a live inventory is the expensive query, and everybody runs it on the same evenings. |
| Property Valuation | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 450 GB | VDS | A valuation is defensible only if the comparable evidence behind it is retrievable years later. |
| Facility Management | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 700 GB | VDS | Building sensors report continuously, so the system is ingesting long after the maintenance team has gone home... |
