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 Resorts
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. |
Resorts workloads you can host
A resort sells a stay plus everything inside it, so the booking system carries far more than rooms.
- Room & villa inventory
- Activity and spa booking
- Package builder
- Guest app
- On-property charging
- Photo galleries

Resorts in Cambridge
The closest of our 24 data centres to Cambridge is London, about 49 miles away. Every kilometre between your users and the server is latency you cannot optimise away in software.
Cambridge has a population of about 145,674, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a Resorts business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Europe/London, 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 UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Pricing is quoted in GBP, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
