Managed PaaS vs Raw VDS
ERPNextCalc: Managed Frappe Cloud vs Self-Hosted UltaHost VDS
ERPNextCalc compares turnkey Frappe Cloud hosting tiers against self-hosting on an UltaHost VDS ($37.50/mo for 8 vCPU / 16 GB RAM as of 2026-11-12).
While Frappe Cloud removes Linux administration entirely, growing teams often hit database size or custom Supervisor worker caps before upgrading tiers.

Option B
Infrastructure Control Full root SSH, Supervisor, my.cnf tuning Managed dashboard, restricted root access
Dedicated RAM / InnoDB Cap 16 GB RAM (7.2 GB InnoDB at 45%) Tiered plan limits on DB & worker hours
Monthly Compute Baseline $37.50/mo fixed UltaHost VDS Usage/plan-based managed monthly fee
Custom Python & System Deps Any OS package (LibreOffice, wkhtml, etc.) Bench app build pipeline constraints
Operational Responsibility You manage OS updates & S3 backups Frappe team handles infra & upgrades

ERPNextCalc Decision Rule: Managed Convenience vs VDS Headroom
We recommend Frappe Cloud for lean finance teams with zero Linux expertise who want one-click upgrades and automated backups.
Once your bench requires custom OS binaries, strict data residency, or dedicated 16 GB–32 GB MariaDB buffers at $37.50/mo, we advise moving to an UltaHost VDS.
Use the ERPNextCalc Supervisor generator to replicate managed-grade RQ queue isolation on your own VDS.

[-] Trade-Offs & Watchouts
Deepest UltaHost Dedicated EPYC VDS rate ($37.50/mo) requires selecting a 12m or 24m term.
Base OS templates need sites/common_site_config.json tuning ( gunicorn_workers=5 & background_workers=3) before peak load.
Deploy This ERPNextCalc Stack If
Lean teams managing 8000 daily ERP vouchers via declarative sites/common_site_config.json files.
Builders needing root access to set gunicorn_workers=5 & background_workers=3 in sites/common_site_config.json.
Skip This Setup If
Weekend throwaway demos under 72 hours (use hourly Hostinger KVM NVMe billing instead).
Teams unwilling to edit sites/common_site_config.json or run basic Ubuntu maintenance.

ERPNextCalc FAQ: Does self-hosting require Kubernetes for 60 users?
No. A single Supervisor + Nginx + MariaDB Linux host configured with ERPNextCalc parameters is simpler and faster to debug.
