What speaks for this tariff

• Price-based selection within this provider. Known renewal prices are included.

What you should keep in mind

• The exact processor may vary depending on location and the available machine.
• £161.27 prepayment binds you for 12 months.

• The CPU details describe the provider pool, not measured performance or a guarantee of an exact processor for this plan.

Assumptions about player count

• The model ends at 100 players. This is a limit of our estimate, not a technical slot limit.
• Gameforest planning estimate. For pure RAM estimates, the filter uses the cautious lower end, not a measured performance value.
