Recommended builds by size

Three sizes of operation, each sized from an assumed traffic figure.

Small

1–10 people · ~5,000 visits a month

VDS

2 Cores
24 GB RAM
100 GB storage

A single site or team, with traffic that arrives in a predictable working-hours pattern.

Medium

11–50 people · ~50,000 visits a month

VDS

4 Cores
48 GB RAM
200 GB storage

A growing business running several systems, where an outage now costs real money.

Large

51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month

Dedicated Server

16 Cores
196 GB RAM
800 GB storage

Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.

Which tiers suit Ride-Hailing

Infrastructure	Verdict	Why
Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server	Not this one	Persistent connections and custom ports are exactly what a shared platform does not permit.
VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access	Workable	Enough for a small server or a test instance, though a noisy neighbour shows up immediately as jitter.
VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone	Recommended	Pinned cores are what keep tick rate and call quality steady; on a contended instance they are not.
Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification	Recommended	Single-tenant hardware removes the last source of variance, which is what these workloads are judged on.
Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads	Workable	For operators running many instances at once on hardware they control.

Ride-Hailing hosting — FAQs

What server specification do Ride-Hailing usually need?

It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around 4 cores, 48 GB of memory and 200 GB of storage.

How were these figures worked out?

From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.

Can we change size later?

Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
