Can I host multiple game servers on one plan?
When this works, when it doesn't, and how to split RAM safely.
Short Answer
Game Hosting plans: one server per plan, each plan is a sized container. VPS plans: as many servers as your RAM and vCPU allow.
On Game Hosting
- 1 plan = 1 game server
- Need a Survival + Creative? Buy two small plans, cleaner separation, cheaper per-server
- You manage both from the same panel
- They show as two entries in your Services list
On a VPS
- Run multiple Minecraft servers on different ports (25565, 25566, 25567ā¦)
- Run a Minecraft server + a website + a Discord bot on the same VPS
- Use Docker or systemd to manage them
How to Split RAM Safely (VPS)
- 1Add up the peak RAM of each server you want to run
- 2Add 1 GB for the OS
- 3Make sure that total fits in your VPS RAM
- 4If close to the limit, lower the JVM heap (
-Xmx) on each Minecraft server
Example (8 GB VPS)
- Minecraft Survival:
-Xmx 3G - Minecraft Creative:
-Xmx 2G - Discord bot: ~200 MB
- Nginx + small website: ~200 MB
- OS overhead: ~1 GB
- Buffer: ~1.5 GB free ā safe
Warning: Over-allocating RAM (sum of -Xmx > available) causes random OOM kills. Leave 15% headroom.
