The right choice for a first community: panel, backups, nothing to administer.
An indicative range, seen across common offers: check the advertised CPU and try a month before committing. The guide to choosing.
- The CPU matters more than memory: each world runs on a single core. Look for the exact model and a high clock speed (over 4 GHz).
Where these figures come from
Memory uses the same calculation as the Startup flags & RAM tool, plus room for the system. Disk counts about 8 KB per generated chunk, plus the Nether and the End, and seven compressed backups. Prices are ranges seen across common offers: they vary from host to host, and the advertised CPU matters more than memory.
