Frequently asked questions
How do I pick a plan?
Start with your player count. Around 4 GB suits a few friends on light Paper (~16 players). Most growing communities sit at 6 GB, and heavier packs or busy public servers need 12–16 GB on Performance.
How much RAM do I need?
Friends on light Paper often start at 4 GB (Leather / Magma Cream, ~16 players). Growing communities usually need about 6 GB (Iron / Blaze Rod), and midweight modpacks about 8 GB (Redstone / Ender Pearl). Heavier packs and public servers usually need 12–16 GB (Diamond / Eye of Ender, Emerald / Chorus Fruit), and run best on Performance.
What is the difference between Budget and Performance?
Both have the same memory sizes under different item names. Budget (Leather to Ancient Debris) suits everyday, lighter servers and uses SATA SSD storage. Performance (Magma Cream to Dragon Egg) is for demanding modpacks and busy servers, and runs on Ryzen 9 9950X CPUs with DDR5 memory and NVMe storage. The 64 GB Nether Star plan is Performance only.
Can I upgrade or downgrade later?
Yes. Change to a larger or smaller plan later without losing your world.
Do you protect against DDoS?
Yes. Every plan includes DDoS filtering, which stops attack traffic before it reaches your server.
Can I run mods and plugins?
Yes. Choose Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Bedrock, or a proxy when you order. Upload mods and plugins with the file manager or over SFTP.
How are plans billed?
Every plan card offers monthly, quarterly, and yearly billing. Longer cycles cost less per month, and the price you see is the price you pay.
Do you offer backups?
Yes, on any paid plan. Take a backup or snapshot whenever you like, set up your own schedule, and restore one when something breaks. Automatic daily backups are a paid add-on. The free plan does not include backups, but you can download your world from the file manager at any time.
