Server infrastructure for Schools in Live Oak
Most Schools outgrow their first server in one specific place — and it is rarely the one the plan name suggests. For a small Schools business in Live Oak that is about Single Core, 10 GB of memory and 80 GB of storage on VPS.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations

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.
Why Schools size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 40,000 requests a day, peaks run about 8× the average hour, so the build is sized for the busiest moment rather than the typical one.
- 3.7 req/sec at peak
- 5.6 GB working set
- 4 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Schools
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. |
