Server infrastructure for VFX Studios in Pullman
Most VFX Studios outgrow their first server in one specific place — and it is rarely the one the plan name suggests. For a medium VFX Studios business in Pullman that is about 8 Cores, 128 GB of memory and 4000 GB of storage on Dedicated Server.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name

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 VFX Studios size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 26,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 600 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 96 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 a GPU is genuinely used rather than optional, and is quoted separately.
- 0.5 req/sec at peak
- 96 GB working set
- 600 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit VFX Studios
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 | 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. |
