Upgrading or downgrading RAM

Last updated: December 2024

Need more resources or fewer? Changing your RAM is instant and your world stays intact.

When to upgrade

Consider upgrading if you're experiencing:

  • - Lag spikes: RAM is maxed out, especially with many players or mods
  • - Player cap issues: You need more slots for your growing community
  • - Mod requirements: Larger modpacks often need more RAM
  • - World size: Bigger worlds with more chunks loaded need more resources

How to change your RAM

  1. 1. Go to your server's Settings tab
  2. 2. Click Change RAM
  3. 3. Select your new RAM amount (4GB, 8GB, 16GB, etc.)
  4. 4. Confirm the change

Your server will briefly restart to apply the new resource allocation. This typically takes under 60 seconds.

What happens to your data

Nothing. Your world, configurations, mods, and player data are completely preserved when changing RAM. The only thing that changes is how much memory your server can use.

Billing changes

Upgrading

When you upgrade mid-billing-cycle:

  • - You're charged the prorated difference immediately
  • - Future invoices reflect the new plan price
  • - New resources are available instantly

Example: If you upgrade from €12/month to €24/month halfway through the month, you'll be charged €6 now, then €24 on your next billing date.

Downgrading

When you downgrade:

  • - The change takes effect immediately
  • - You receive account credit for the unused portion
  • - Credit is automatically applied to future invoices

Before downgrading

Make sure your server can run on fewer resources. If you're currently using close to your RAM limit, downgrading may cause performance issues or crashes. Check your resource usage in the dashboard first.

RAM recommendations

All servers are priced at €3 per GB of RAM per month. Here's what we recommend:

RAM Price Best for
4 GB €12/mo 2-10 players, vanilla/light mods
8 GB €24/mo 10-30 players, medium modpacks
16 GB €48/mo 30+ players, heavy modpacks

All RAM tiers include the same features: daily backups, DDoS protection, 1-click mods, full FTP access, and 24/7 support.

Changing regions

Need to move your server to a different region? This requires a server migration. Contact support and we'll help transfer your data to a new location with minimal downtime.

Not sure what you need?

Start with a smaller plan—you can always upgrade instantly. It's better to discover you need more resources than to pay for capacity you don't use.
