Three sizes of business, each sized from an assumed traffic figure rather than a measured one. If you know your own numbers, tell us and the estimate changes with them.
Small WordPress Development
1–10 people · ~5,000 visits a month
On request
Shared Hosting
- Single Core
- 3 GB RAM
- 30 GB storage
About 0.4 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 0.2 GB of working data.

11–50 people · ~50,000 visits a month
On request
Shared Hosting
- Single Core
- 3 GB RAM
- 30 GB storage
- Managed
The same build as small — at 3.5 requests a second this workload still fits comfortably, so there is nothing to gain by paying for more.
Configure this build →Large WordPress Development
51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month
$92 USD USD
per month · VPS
- 2 Cores
- 6 GB RAM
- 50 GB storage
- Managed
About 34.7 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 2 GB of working data.
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.
Which tiers suit WordPress Development
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 | Recommended | A brochure site with light traffic runs comfortably on shared hosting, and the managed platform means no server to look after. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | A VPS gives you root, your own PHP and Nginx versions, and room for the site to grow past what shared hosting allows. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Workable | Worth moving to once the site fronts an application rather than pages, or when a slow neighbour has cost you a lead. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Workable | More machine than a brochure site needs, but the right answer when it sits alongside other systems on the same box. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Not this one | Bare metal is sized for sustained heavy compute; a brochure site would leave almost all of it idle. |
