SizingRAM
How much RAM does a Minecraft server need?The 2 GB plan suits 1–5 players, and the most popular 8 GB plan handles 25–50. Mods, plugins and bigger maps use more memory, so size up if you run them. You can upgrade at any time from the client area and only pay the price difference, with no migration.
