minecraft servers are based off dedicated ram so the slot/player count is not a factor unless you allow too many players in your server you may use up all of the ram and the server will lag. Based off these recommendations we have these plans available for servers:
- 256MB Memory up to 6 players
- 512MB Memory $10.95 USD up to 16 players
- 1024MB Memory $19.95 USD up to 32 players (recommended)
- 1536MB Memory $29.95 USD up to 32 players
- 2048MB Memory $39.95 USDup to 48 players
- 3072MB Memory $59.95 USD up to 64 players
- 4096MB Memory $79.95 USD up to 128 players
While the slot count we advertize is changeable those are what we recommend per memory usage. You can always request to have more slot available at no extra charge.
Some of the Minecraft Hosting providers use vps servers to host your game. Your basically sharing resources with other gamers this means virtual sharing of resources as there is no proven way to keep other users from consuming your resources that you pay for. We been hosting game servers for over 4 years now and have always used full rack mounted servers. Our standard shared servers consist of Intel Dual Quad Core E5500 Series processers and 12-48 gig memory. We used Windows 2008 Std 64 bit on all servers and available resources never peak over 50%.
