Frequently asked questions

How do I pick a plan?

Size by player count first. 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 land around 6 GB (Iron / Blaze Rod). Midweight modpacks want 8 GB (Redstone / Ender Pearl); heavier packs and public servers commonly need 12–16 GB (Diamond / Eye of Ender, Emerald / Chorus Fruit) — preferably on Performance.

What is the difference between Budget and Performance?

Same RAM steps, different item names. Budget (Leather → Ancient Debris) keeps the value lane clear — RAM, SATA SSD storage, player guidance. Performance (Magma Cream → Dragon Egg) adds Ryzen 9 9950X, DDR5, NVMe, DDoS protection, and 24/7 always-on for packs and busy publics. The 64 GB Nether Star plan is Performance only.

Can I upgrade or downgrade later?

Yes. Move between tiers as your whitelist grows. World files stay available in the file manager when you resize.

Do you protect against DDoS?

Yes, we absorb the junk traffic so players can still connect.

Can I run mods and plugins?

Yes. Pick Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Bedrock, or a proxy at order time. Upload the rest through the file manager or SFTP.

What about billing?

Monthly, quarterly, and yearly prices are on every card. Longer cycles save versus monthly. What you see is what you pay.

Do you offer backups?

Yes. Schedule backups from the panel and keep restore points for when an update goes sideways.
