CraftBukkit RAM Requirements & Player Slots
- Memory Guideline
To avoid lag or memory errors, order a minimum of 3GB of RAM. If you are playing with friends or planning on hosting a public server consider ordering 4GB or more. You won't know your exact requirements until you start building and getting more players on. Don't worry you can quickly upgrade your memory as your server grows. Follow this guide if you need to upgrade. - Recommended Max Players is our best guess on how many slots gives good performance per GigaByte of RAM. It relates to how many players can join before running into lag or out-of-memory errors. Newer servers with lots of mods/plugins will have less players per GB, you won't know exactly how many players until your server gets busy. You have Unlimited Slots, set this in the control panel, use your slots wisely. It's a guideline not set in bedrock!

Not one criticism
Mod setup was part of the server cost instead of an addons and their updates have all been completed within hours of a ticket. All staff have been courteous and helpful, not one complaint about this server provider. Read full review

Top tier support
The team is friendly, fast, and they know about the mod I'm playing. Just today they waited 15 minutes to update the server, because I was in a timed Vault. Read full review
