Server infrastructure for SEO Agencies
Sized from the workload rather than sold as a plan name: what SEO Agencies actually run, what that needs, and which tier it belongs on.
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
- 300 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
- 800 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
- 3000 GB storage
Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.
Which tiers suit SEO Agencies
| Infrastructure | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server | Recommended | A brochure site with light traffic runs comfortably on shared hosting, and the managed platform means no server to look after. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | A VPS gives you root, your own PHP and Nginx versions, and room for the site to grow past what shared hosting allows. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Workable | Worth moving to once the site fronts an application rather than pages, or when a slow neighbour has cost you a lead. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Workable | More machine than a brochure site needs, but the right answer when it sits alongside other systems on the same box. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Not this one | Bare metal is sized for sustained heavy compute; a brochure site would leave almost all of it idle. |
