What is the "Budget" plan / what's the cheapest option for?
On this page
The Budget tier is our value line — built for vanilla and light plugin servers or small friend groups who want solid hosting without paying for high-end hardware.
What Budget is
- Runs on AMD EPYC hardware (2 vCores).
- Comes with a fixed NVMe disk allotment.
- Billed monthly, or pay ahead for 3, 6 or 12 months and save 5%, 10% or 15%.
- Ideal for vanilla and light plugin servers or small friend groups.
Budget starts at 4 GB, which suits a small vanilla world; more players or mods want more RAM (see the sizing articles).
Tip: If you're running a heavy modpack or a busy server, look at the Ryzen-based Supreme/Ultimate tiers instead — they hold TPS better under load.
Frequently asked questions
