Every plan can run any of these server types, and you can switch later from the panel. Each guide covers setup, RAM and compatibility for that software:
Plugins (Bukkit, Spigot, Paper), TPS tuning and anti-lag settings for survival, SMP and minigame servers.
Paper & Purpur server hostingOne-click CurseForge, Modrinth and FTB modpacks, with RAM sizing from light packs to 200+ mods.
Modded Minecraft server hostingLightweight mods, server-side performance mods such as Lithium and fast support for new Minecraft versions.
Fabric server hostingServers for players on Windows, phones, tablets and consoles, with their own software list, setup and RAM guide.
Minecraft Bedrock server hostingVanilla, Spigot and BungeeCord are also available. Want Java and Bedrock players together? Run Paper with the Geyser and Floodgate plugins — see the Geyser setup guide.
RAM depends on the software, the number of mods or plugins, how many players explore at once and your view distance. These are sensible starting points:
| Server | RAM to start with | Matching plans |
|---|---|---|
| Vanilla or Paper with a few friends | 2–4 GB | 2 GB (Hermes), 4 GB (Hefesto) |
| Paper SMP · 5–20 players | 4–6 GB | 4 GB (Hefesto), 6 GB (Apolo) |
| Light modpack · up to ~50 mods | 4–6 GB | 4 GB (Hefesto), 6 GB (Apolo) |
| Medium modpack · 50–150 mods | 6–8 GB | 6 GB (Apolo), 8 GB (Atenea) |
| Heavy modpack · 200+ mods | 10 GB or more | 16 GB (Zeus), 24 GB (Cronos), 32 GB or larger, up to 64 GB |
| Busy public server · 40+ players | 8 GB or more, or several servers behind a proxy | 8 GB (Atenea), 16 GB (Zeus), 24 GB (Cronos) or larger, up to 64 GB |
Estimates, not guarantees. The RAM calculator gives a number for your exact setup and the RAM guide explains why more RAM does not fix CPU lag. You can upgrade later.
The same infrastructure applies to every plan, from the smallest to the largest.
Minecraft’s main thread depends on single-core speed, so plans run on high-clock Ryzen 9 CPUs. See the hardware specs.
Fast storage shortens world loading and chunk saving, which matters most on large worlds and modpacks.
Network DDoS protection is included on every plan, together with a 1 Gbps uplink.
Backups run automatically. Take a manual backup before big changes such as a version or modpack update.
Both locations are in the United States, suited to players in North America and Latin America. Players in Europe can join with higher ping.
Contact the team by ticket or Discord for setup, migration or billing questions. Service health is on the status page.
Stop the old server and download the world folders plus the plugins or mods and config folders.
Pick the RAM you need and the same server software and Minecraft version you used before.
Keep the folder structure unchanged so plugins and mods find their data.
Check the console for errors, then invite your players. Support can help by ticket or Discord.
Every plan costs $1.10 per GB of RAM per month (regular price $1.20 per GB): $1.10 for 1 GB, $8.80 for 8 GB and $70.40 for 64 GB. All sizes include the same hardware, DDoS protection and automated backups.
Paper, Purpur, Spigot, Vanilla, Forge, Fabric and BungeeCord. You can switch from the panel; take a backup first when moving between plugins and mods. Bedrock Edition runs on the same plans — see Minecraft Bedrock hosting for its software.
No. The same Minecraft plans run either edition — you choose the server software after ordering.
For Vanilla or Paper with a few plugins, 2–4 GB is usually enough for around 5 players and 4–6 GB for around 10. A light modpack needs about 4–6 GB and a medium modpack 6–8 GB. Heavy packs with 200+ mods usually need 10 GB or more.
For most Paper servers and for light or medium modpacks with a small group, yes. Heavy modpacks with 200+ mods usually recommend 10 GB or more — check the pack’s server requirements.
Plans go up to 64 GB of RAM at the same $1.10 per GB. More RAM helps heavy modpacks and servers with many loaded chunks, but it does not fix main-thread lag: check MSPT with the TPS/MSPT calculator before moving up.
Yes. The one-click installer supports CurseForge, Modrinth and FTB modpacks, and you can also upload a server pack yourself.
Yes, change the server software in the panel. Plugins do not run on Forge and mods do not run on Paper, so back up your world first and expect to reinstall add-ons.
Yes. Upload your world, plugins or mods and configs with the file manager or FTP, keeping the same Minecraft version. Support can help by ticket or Discord.
Our active locations are Miami and Dallas in the United States. They suit players in North and Latin America; players in Europe can join with higher ping.
Yes, every Minecraft plan includes network DDoS protection at no extra cost.
