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 Travel & Tourism Businesses
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 | Workable | Workable for a single small property or practice, though a shared database is the first thing to strain when bookings cluster. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | A VPS handles a booking engine and its database comfortably, with predictable performance when enquiries spike. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned resources matter here: a reservation that times out at the payment step is a booking you never see. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Workable | Right once you are running several properties, or a property management system alongside the public site. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Not this one | Reservation workloads are database-bound rather than compute-bound, so the extra physical capacity goes unused. |

Travel & Tourism in Alabaster, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travel Agencies | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 80 GB | VPS | One trip is a dozen bookings with different suppliers that all have to stay in step. |
| Tour Operators | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Capacity is per departure rather than per day, and a cancelled guide reshuffles everything downstream. |
| Online Travel Agencies | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 200 GB | VDS | Every search fans out to many supplier APIs, so caching is the difference between a fast site and an expensive... |
| Ticketing Companies | 4 vCPU · 10 GB · 80 GB | VPS | An on-sale is the most brutal traffic pattern in commerce: months of demand arriving in ninety seconds. |
| Car Rental Companies | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Availability depends on where the car will be, not where it is — the calendar has to model vehicles moving bet... |
| Adventure Tourism | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Weather rewrites the schedule at short notice, so bulk rebooking is a normal operation rather than an exceptio... |
| Cruise Operators | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | The manifest is a regulated document with a hard sailing deadline, and excursions sell out like a small ticket... |
| Airport Services | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Everything keys off live flight data, so the system is only as current as the feed it is consuming. |
