Storage, memory and backups matter more than raw clock speed.
A store is a database application with images attached. Sizing follows catalogue size, concurrent checkouts and how much history you keep, not the number of visitors.
Recommended resource profile
A starting point, not a floor. The hints say what runs short first.
- vCPU

Product images and order history.
What this workload actually needs
Conditions that have to be true before it will work, whatever plan you pick.
Requirements
- A TLS certificate for the checkout domain.
- A payment provider account of your own. VdsRent does not process payments on your behalf.
- A backup arrangement you have tested, because order data is not reconstructable.
Deployment considerations
- Enable backups before the first real order, and confirm a restore works.
- A database cache such as Redis reduces load more than adding vCPU on most stores.
- Traffic spikes at campaign times. Check the upgrade path in your region before you need it.
What we do not do
- PCI DSS obligations for your store sit with you and your payment provider.
- We do not tune, patch or monitor your store application.
