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 California, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the small band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travel Agencies | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 50 GB | VPS | One trip is a dozen bookings with different suppliers that all have to stay in step. |
| Tour Operators | 1 vCPU · 4 GB · 40 GB | Shared Hosting | Capacity is per departure rather than per day, and a cancelled guide reshuffles everything downstream. |
| Online Travel Agencies | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 80 GB | VDS | Every search fans out to many supplier APIs, so caching is the difference between a fast site and an expensive... |
| Ticketing Companies | 1 vCPU · 4 GB · 40 GB | Shared Hosting | An on-sale is the most brutal traffic pattern in commerce: months of demand arriving in ninety seconds. |
| Car Rental Companies | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 50 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 · 4 GB · 40 GB | Shared Hosting | Weather rewrites the schedule at short notice, so bulk rebooking is a normal operation rather than an exceptio... |
| Cruise Operators | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 60 GB | VPS | The manifest is a regulated document with a hard sailing deadline, and excursions sell out like a small ticket... |
| Airport Services | 1 vCPU · 4 GB · 40 GB | Shared Hosting | Everything keys off live flight data, so the system is only as current as the feed it is consuming. |

Distances are from California. Round trips are estimated from fibre distance, not measured — the figure your users see depends on where they are.
Travel & Tourism Businesses in California
The closest of our 24 data centres to California is Los Angeles, about 111 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
California has a population of about 524, which is why the small build above is the one most likely to fit a Travel & Tourism business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is America/Los Angeles, 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 state privacy laws such as the CCPA. Pricing is quoted in USD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
Network reach from California
Estimated from fibre distance rather than measured, and stated as a range. Your own access network decides the rest.

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 small size assumed above, that is roughly 11,667 requests a day crossing that link.
