Ask yourself three things: how many players are online at once (not max-players), Java or Bedrock, and how many plugins or mods.
| Server | Suggested start |
|---|---|
| Vanilla or light plugins, up to ~10 players | Budget+ 4 to 6 GB |
| 10 to 25 players, 15+ plugins | Premium+ 6 GB (3 vCPU) |
| 20 to 40 players | Premium+ 8 GB (4 vCPU) |
| 40 to 80 players, or a light modpack | Premium+ 12 to 16 GB |
| Heavy modpacks (200+ mods) | Premium+ 12 GB or more |
| Networks (proxy + lobby + games) | Premium+ 32 GB+ with free splits |
- At least 2 vCPU is recommended for any Java server with players; Bedrock will not run well on 1 vCPU.
- Lag is usually caused by plugins, entities or chunk generation before RAM. Pre-generate your world (Chunky) at night, not at peak hours.
- You can upgrade later from billing without losing your world.
