Server infrastructure for Software Development in Perth
The right server for Software Development is decided by the work it has to do, not by the size of the plan you happen to land on. For a large Software Development business in Perth that is about 16 Cores, 96 GB of memory and 1500 GB of storage on Dedicated Server.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Perth. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

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 Software Development size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 4,000,000 requests a day, peaks run about 5× the average hour, so the build is sized for the busiest moment rather than the typical one.
- 231.5 req/sec at peak
- 48 GB working set
- 100 GB/month growth
- Linux
Which tiers suit Software Development
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. |
Software Development workloads you can host
Build agents are the spike: idle most of the day, then every core saturated the moment a branch merges.
- Git hosting
- CI/CD runners
- Container registry
- Staging environments
- Artifact storage
- Code review

Software Development in Perth
We work with businesses across the CBD, Fremantle, Northbridge, Subiaco and Joondalup. Perth is a spread-out market where clear service areas and Google Business listings win jobs.
The closest of our 24 data centres to Perth is Sydney, about 2,045 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Perth has a population of about 2,384,371, which is why the large build above is the one most likely to fit a Software Development business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Australia/Perth, 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 Privacy Act 1988. Pricing is quoted in AUD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.

Perth sits in Western Australia, and every one of our 24 locations costs the same — so the only thing worth optimising is which of them your users are closest to. At the large size assumed above, that is roughly 4,000,000 requests a day crossing that link.
