Answers
A few things worth knowing.
How much memory does a Minecraft server need?+
A Java server wants 2 to 3 GB for itself. Our guide recommends the Orbit plan, with 4 GB, so the operating system has room too. Modded servers and more players need more.
Can I install mods and plugins?+
Yes. You have full root access, so you can run Paper, modded servers and any plugins they support.
Is there a player slot limit?+
No. We sell the server, not slots. The limit is what your plan’s CPU and memory can handle.
Is DDoS protection included?+
Yes, on every plan, with no extra fee.
Can I take backups of my world?+
Yes. Automated backups and snapshots are included. Take a snapshot before an update so you can roll back.
Do I pay for bandwidth?+
No. There is no per-GB charge. Each plan has a port speed, and the acceptable use policy applies.
