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 Surveying size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 2,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 88 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 22 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast; each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site; and the software is Windows-based, which sets a floor on cores, memory and disk before the workload is considered.

Which tiers suit Surveying
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 serves websites; it cannot present a Windows desktop to work on. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Adequate for light remote desktop work — email, documents, a line-of-business application. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Guaranteed CPU and memory are what make a remote desktop feel like a local one rather than a slideshow. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The right tier for CAD, BIM and rendering, where the whole machine is in use for hours at a stretch. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | For teams running several workstations on one physical host, with GPUs available on request. |
