Every game has a base memory footprint. On top of that, each player and each mod or plugin adds a bit more. This calculator uses real-world benchmarks from thousands of servers running on our infrastructure to estimate your needs.
The result is a recommendation, not a hard limit. If you are unsure, start with the recommended plan. You can always upgrade later without downtime.
