Hosting plan calculator
Enter your monthly traffic, site type and technical requirements and this calculator recommends shared, private shared or VPS hosting — and tells you why. It runs entirely in your browser.

Most people overbuy or underbuy hosting because they guess from visitor numbers alone. Traffic is only one input. What actually decides the plan is concurrent load, whether you need root access, and how heavy each page request is.
How the recommendation works
The calculator scores five inputs: monthly traffic, site type, number of sites, whether you need root access, and how dynamic your pages are. Root access alone forces a VPS recommendation regardless of traffic, because it is not available on entry-level shared plans.
Why traffic alone is misleading
A 500KB cached page served to 50,000 visitors costs the server less than a 4MB uncached page served to 5,000. Before upgrading on traffic grounds, check whether caching and image optimisation solve the problem for free.
