Why Generic VPS Plans Do Not Work Well for Accounting Software
Most VPS marketing focuses on web hosting workloads: handling HTTP requests, serving static files, running PHP or Node.js. These workloads are different from accounting software workloads. Tally and Busy run as Windows applications inside Remote Desktop sessions, with constant database I/O, Windows session overhead, and CPU spikes during report generation. A VPS optimised for web hosting may perform poorly for this specific use case.
Why Windows Server Is Non-Negotiable
Tally and Busy run only on Windows. Multi-user access requires Windows Server 2019 or 2022 specifically — not Windows 10 or Windows 11. A provider using Windows 10 for "cloud hosting" supports only one concurrent user at a time. Confirm the exact OS version before committing.
Why NVMe Storage Is a Requirement, Not a Luxury
Accounting database operations are dominated by small random reads and writes. NVMe: 300,000–700,000 random IOPS. SATA SSD: 50,000–80,000 IOPS. On equivalent hardware, switching from SATA to NVMe reduces Tally report generation time by 60–80% and multi-user concurrency degradation virtually disappears. Always confirm: "Is this NVMe or SATA?" Accept only "NVMe".
Why Dedicated RAM and CPU Matter
Burstable RAM and shared CPU are adequate for web hosting with variable traffic. For accounting software sessions with predictable concurrent users, burstable resources cause random performance degradation at peak load — exactly when your team is busiest. Require dedicated RAM and dedicated CPU allocation. Ask explicitly before purchasing.
Correct Specifications by User Count
3 concurrent users: Windows Server 2022, 4 dedicated cores, 8 GB dedicated RAM, 100 GB NVMe SSD.
6 concurrent users: 8 dedicated cores, 16 GB dedicated RAM, 150 GB NVMe SSD.
10 concurrent users: 12 dedicated cores, 24 GB dedicated RAM, 200 GB NVMe SSD.
