Where an 8 GB server runs, and what it costs
| Country | Line | Chip and disk | Starter from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poland (Warsaw) | Performance line | AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with DDR5, 60 GB Enterprise NVMe | €6.38 for the first 6 months, then €12.76 |
| Germany | Performance line | AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 60 GB Enterprise NVMe | €10.53 for the first 6 months, then €17.55 |
| United Kingdom, US East, US Central, US West | Standard line | A shared server processor, 75 GB SSD | €12.95 plus a small monthly surcharge |
Germany and Poland run only the Performance line, which gives up some storage against the Standard line for a faster core. Warsaw and Germany carry no location fee; the United Kingdom and the US show their surcharge at checkout.
On a plugin server the difference shows once players spread out and farms start running: every plugin runs on the same main thread as the world, so a faster core keeps 20 ticks per second longer. That is why Germany and Poland run only the Performance line; the Standard line, with more storage, stays in the United Kingdom and the US. What high performance really means explains how to tell.
Every term for 8 GB
| 8 GB Java | 24 months | 12 months | 6 months | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New customer, Poland (50% off) | €4.79 | €5.11 | €5.42 | €6.38, first 6 months |
| New customer, Germany (40% off) | €7.90 | €8.42 | €8.95 | €10.53, first 6 months |
| Performance line in Poland, regular price | €9.57 | €10.21 | €10.84 | €12.76 |
| Performance line in Germany, regular price | €13.16 | €14.04 | €14.91 | €17.55 |
| Standard line, UK and US, plus surcharge | €9.71 | €10.36 | €11.00 | €12.95 |
The longer the term, the lower the monthly amount on every row; nothing is charged for setting the server up. The welcome price is for new customers: on a 6, 12 or 24 month term it covers the whole term, month by month the first 6 months.

Starter Crossplay runs on Paper or Purpur, so plugins keep working while phone, tablet and console players join the same world on the same address. How Crossplay works.
What 8 GB is the right size for
The panel gives the world 6,963 MB and keeps 1,229 MB for Java itself. Plugins keep their data in that same heap, so the step up from 4 GB matters most on a server with many of them: ranks, claims, an economy, shops and a map all hold something in memory while players are online.
| What you run | Players | Is 8 GB the size |
|---|---|---|
| Paper with a plugin set: claims, an economy, a few minigames | 10 to 20 | Yes, start here |
| Fabric with performance mods, or a light modpack | 5 to 10 | Yes, start here |
| Vanilla or Paper for a few friends | 2 to 5 | More than you need, 4 GB fits |
| A large modpack with a few hundred mods | 5 to 10 | No, start on 12 GB |
Starting points from how much RAM a Minecraft server needs. Measure once your players are online, and move a size up only when the memory graph says so.
The free website that starts at 8 GB
Every plan from 8 GB comes with a free website for your server, built on astroworldmc.site. It gives your server a page to send new players to, with your rules and your address, and the editor is included. Mini and Camp do not have it, so if you were going to pay for a website anyway, 8 GB is the size where that cost goes away.
Starter compared with Mini and Standard
| Plan | Memory and vCPU | First 6 months, new customer | Then a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 4 GB, 2 vCPU | €3.18, 50 GB Enterprise NVMe | €6.36 |
| Starter | 8 GB, 2 vCPU | €6.38, 60 GB Enterprise NVMe | €12.76 |
| Standard | 12 GB, 3 vCPU | €9.58, 80 GB Enterprise NVMe | €19.16 |
Per month on the Performance line in Poland, 50% off for new customers, then the regular monthly price. Mini and Starter both have 2 vCPU; Standard adds a third.
