VPS calculator

Estimate a sensible VPS starting point.

Use workload type, traffic, concurrency and data footprint to get a planning baseline for vCPU, RAM and disk.

Baseline

This is not a performance benchmark

Framework efficiency, caching, database indexes, cron jobs, imports and traffic spikes can dominate the final requirement.

Measure

Resize from real metrics

Start with a sane baseline and use CPU, memory, I/O, latency and database measurements after deployment.

Disk

Leave working room

The disk estimate includes room beyond current application data, but backups should still live independently.

Traffic

Visits are not equal

Ten thousand cached static page views and ten thousand uncached ecommerce checkouts are very different workloads.
