RAM planning value: 25–48 players. Not a measured capacity.

What speaks for this tariff

• Price-based selection within this provider. Known renewal prices are included.
• NVMe storage according to tariff source.

What you should keep in mind

• The exact processor may vary depending on location and the available machine.
• £303.55 prepayment binds you for 12 months.
• The provider link leads to the provider's home page. Select the tariff above there.
• The provider names dedicated CPU threads, but their number and the specific model are missing.
• NVMe storage with no published fixed GB limit. Unlimited slots do not mean unlimited player performance.
• Price applies to Chicago, IL. Further checkout locations: Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX, New York City, NY, Montreal, Canada, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Sydney, Australia.
• The provider's player recommendation applies to Vanilla and is not a measured capacity guarantee.

Assumptions about player count

• Provider recommendation for the default configuration. No independent load test.
• A game world.
• Normal view distance.
• Without mods.
• No large redstone farms.
• Players mostly in the same area.
• RAM model for Java without mods: 2 GB base allowance for 2 players, then 128–256 MB per additional player. Calculated with 1000 MB per GB.
• The base budget is tight. Sources recommend more headroom for small groups, depending on play style. View distance, exploration, world size and CPU performance may limit sooner.
• 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.
