24 GB Minecraft Server Hosting
At 24 GB the question changes. Nothing we host asks for this much on its own, so you are no longer buying headroom for one world, you are buying the ability to run several things at once and give each of them a budget it cannot be robbed of. That is either a public server with a lot of people on it, or the first version of a network. €23.99 a month with 8 vCPU.

Modpacks are no longer the limit here
Every pack on this site fits several times over, so the table below is really a reference rather than a test. The useful number on 24 GB is what is left after the pack: run the heaviest one we cover and you still have more memory spare than an entire 8 GB server has in total.
| Modpack | Memory it asks for | On 24 GB |
|---|---|---|
| RLCraftHardcore survival with Lycanites Mobs, Ice & Fire, and punishing difficulty. Entity-heavy and needs solid RAM. | 6 - 8 GB | Fits |
| All The Mods 10Kitchen-sink pack with 400+ mods spanning tech, magic, and exploration. Heavy world generation demands fast storage. | 8 - 12 GB | Fits |
| PixelmonPokemon inside Minecraft. Custom structures, biome spawning, and battle mechanics on top of the base game. | 4 - 6 GB | Fits |
| CreateMechanical engineering with gears, conveyors, and trains. CPU-intensive when contraptions get large. | 4 - 6 GB | Fits |
| SevTech: AgesProgression-based pack that locks content behind ages. Recipe changes and world-gen tweaks add to resource usage. | 6 - 8 GB | Fits |
| Vault HuntersDungeon-crawling RPG modpack with randomized vaults. Each vault generates fresh chunks, so storage speed matters. | 8 GB+ | Fits |
The size where player numbers start to matter
Below this, what you run decides the memory and the player count barely registers. Here it flips. Fifty people on a plugin server each hold their own view of the world, their own inventory and their own patch of loaded chunks, and that adds up faster than any mod list. 24 GB is the first size that carries a public server rather than a private one.
| What you run | Memory the guide lists |
|---|---|
| Vanilla 1-5 playersLightweight survival or creative with friends | 2-4 GB |
| Vanilla 10-20 playersSmall community with plugins like EssentialsX | 4-8 GB |
| Light modpack (50 mods)Create, Cobblemon, or similar packs | 4-6 GB |
| Medium modpack (100-200 mods)All the Mods Lite, Better MC | 6-8 GB |
| Heavy modpack (300+ mods)All the Mods 10, RLCraft, Enigmatica | 8-12 GB |
| Large community (50+ players)Networks, events, or public servers | 16+ GB |
How 24 GB splits across a network
A worked example rather than a rule. This is what a first network looks like when it is laid out sensibly, with each server given its own memory instead of everything sharing one pool and fighting over it.
| Server | Memory | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby | 2 GB | A hub with a map and portals, no world generation to speak of |
| Survival | 12 GB | The main world, a heavy pack or a large plugin set |
| Creative | 6 GB | Building, with a flat world and a lot of loaded chunks |
| Spare | 4 GB | The headroom that absorbs an event evening |
When 24 GB runs out
Not on memory, usually, but on cores. 8 cores hold a busy world plus a lobby; they do not hold four busy worlds, because each one wants a core to itself for its main loop and there is no sharing that. If you are planning more than two or three servers behind one address, Ultimate at 48 GB is the honest next step, for €16.00 more a month.
If you are still running one world and one world only, Standard does that for €10.40 a month less. Buying this size for a single survival server is buying memory that will sit there unused.
What comes with 24 GB
8 vCPU
Eight cores is what makes this size a network plan rather than a big single server. A lobby, a survival world and a creative world can each keep a core busy without the others noticing.
400 GB SSD
Sized for several worlds rather than one, because several worlds means several sets of world data and several sets of backups. Disk is the thing people forget until a restore fails.
DDoS filtering, included at this size too
A public server gets attacked more often than a private one, simply because more people know the address. The filtering is the same on every plan and there is nothing extra to buy.
A Copilot that knows your setup
With several servers running, the hard part is working out which one caused the problem. The Copilot reads the console and the config files and answers that in a sentence.
Your own address
One name for the whole thing, and players never see which machine anything is on. That is also what lets us move a server without anyone having to retype anything.
Where a 24 GB server runs
Choose the region during the order. With a public server it is worth choosing for where most of your players are rather than where you are: 9 regions are ours across four parts of the world, and Germany (EU) has no surcharge. Another 18 cities are available on this size.
Questions about 24 GB servers
What do you actually need 24 GB for?
A public server with dozens of people on it, or two to three servers behind one address. For a single modded world with friends it is more than you will use, however heavy the pack is.
How many players fit on 24 GB?
Fifty or more on a plugin server, considerably fewer on a heavy modded one. Every connected player costs memory of their own here, which is not really true at the smaller sizes.
Is this enough for a network?
For a first one, yes: a lobby and two servers behind it fit comfortably. The table above shows a layout that works. Beyond three busy servers you run out of cores before you run out of memory.
Are there setup fees?
None on this plan, on any term. The price you see is the price the checkout charges.
