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

4 Cores
48 GB RAM
3000 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

Dedicated Server

8 Cores
128 GB RAM
4000 GB storage

A growing business running several systems, where an outage now costs real money.

Large

51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month

Bare Metal

28 Cores
448 GB RAM
4000 GB storage

Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.

Which tiers suit VFX Studios

Infrastructure	Verdict	Why
Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server	Not this one	There is no version of this workload that fits on shared hosting.
VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access	Workable	Useful for development, notebooks and light inference, but not for training or sustained compute.
VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone	Workable	Suits CPU-bound preprocessing and data preparation with a guaranteed share of the machine.
Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification	Recommended	Production compute wants the whole machine, with memory bandwidth that is not being shared.
Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads	Recommended	Training, inference and simulation belong on physical hardware, with GPUs available on request.

VFX Studios hosting — FAQs

What server specification do VFX Studios usually need?

It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around 8 cores, 128 GB of memory and 4000 GB of storage.

How were these figures worked out?

From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.

Can we change size later?

Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
