In short

- Upgrades at any time, charged pro rata; downgrades at the end of the term (Changing plan and upgrades)

Which plan suits me?
Section titled “Which plan suits me?”The player numbers on the shop pages are guidelines, not fixed slots. Three things matter:
- Memory (RAM): It limits how many players, worlds and mods can run at the same time. With mods, modpacks, plugins and large maps, RAM is the most important value.
- Processor cores: Important with many players and in games that need a lot of computation (Rust, ARK, Satisfactory).
- Storage: Important with mods, maps and many backups.
| Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Minecraft with friends, vanilla | Basic (4 GB) |
| Minecraft with plugins or a small modpack | Advanced (8 GB), for large modpacks Premium (16 GB) |
| DarkRP or TTT, 16 to 32 players | Basic to Advanced; many Workshop addons: Advanced or Premium |
| Rust, about 100 players | Advanced (12 GB), more with many plugins |
| FiveM with ESX or QBCore | Advanced or higher, because of scripts and databases |
| ARK with mods | Advanced and up |
| Satisfactory with a large factory | Premium and up |
When your plan is no longer enough, you move up in the customer account (immediately, charged pro rata) or add RAM, cores and storage individually. For an evening with a rush of players there is the Boost. All the options: Extend server and Boost. For changing plans: Changing plan and upgrades.
