Choosing the right plan for your Minecraft server is crucial to ensure good performance and gaming experience. Here we explain what factors you should consider when selecting the ideal RAM plan for your server on HolyHosting.

Number of players 🙍‍♂️​: Each player connecting to your server will use a portion of RAM. The more players, the more resources you will need.

Minecraft versions: Newer Minecraft versions tend to consume more RAM, especially if you are using mods or plugins. Consider the version you plan to use.

Mods: Servers that use mods require more RAM than those using only plugins.

Plugins: These tend to be lighter, but if you plan to have many, you will also need to consider a plan with more RAM.

• Ideal for:
  Basic Minecraft servers, without mods or many plugins.
• Recommended players: 1 - 10 players.

  Servers with some basic plugins.
