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 Video & Creative Production size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 800,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 1,200 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; and each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site.
- 27.8 req/sec at peak
- 24 GB working set
- 1,200 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Video & Creative Production
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 plans cap disk long before a video or photo library needs them to, and cannot sustain the read throughput. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Fine for a catalogue and a website; the library itself will outgrow the disk faster than the CPU. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Storage-weighted builds with guaranteed throughput, which is what serving large files consistently actually requires. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The right tier once the library runs to terabytes, or when transcoding runs alongside delivery. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | For transcoding, rendering and archives at a scale where disk and CPU are both saturated for hours at a time. |
