Configure this build →These figures are assumptions stated out loud, not predictions about your business. 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 SaaS Companies
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 | Not this one | Shared hosting cannot run background workers, queues or long-lived processes, which a SaaS application depends on. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | The natural home for an early-stage product: root access, your own runtime, and the ability to resize as you grow. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned resources give you the predictable latency your customers will hold you to in an SLA. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Right once the database and the application tier are competing for the same memory on a single virtual instance. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For platforms running their own virtualization, or holding a large working set entirely in memory. |

SaaS in Torquay, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| B2B SaaS | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 200 GB | VPS | Business-hours traffic in a handful of time zones, and an SLA that makes the quiet hours the wrong time to be... |
| Vertical SaaS | 2 vCPU · 16 GB · 200 GB | VPS | A narrow market means fewer, larger customers — one tenant's month-end can look like everybody else's peak. |
| Marketplace Platforms | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 250 GB | VDS | Search across a live inventory is the expensive part, and it gets slower exactly as the marketplace succeeds. |
| Subscription Platforms | 2 vCPU · 16 GB · 200 GB | VPS | Billing runs are the load: a month's invoices generate on one day, and a failed run is a revenue problem rathe... |
| CRM Software | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 250 GB | VDS | Email and calendar sync runs constantly in the background, so the machine is never quite idle even when nobody... |
| HR Software | 2 vCPU · 16 GB · 200 GB | VPS | Payroll is a hard deadline rather than a busy period, and it touches every record at once. |
