Shared vs. Dedicated Hosting: What is the Difference?

Game hosting comes in two main types: shared and dedicated.

Shared hosting

Your server shares hardware with others. Lower price, perfect for small servers (1-20 players).

Dedicated hosting

Your own server with guaranteed resources. Necessary for large servers with many players or heavy modpacks.

When to choose which?

Shared: up to 20-30 players, standard gameplay. Dedicated: 30+ players, heavy modpacks, RP servers with many scripts.
