Resources
How much RAM do you need for a Minecraft server?
The RAM you need depends on the Minecraft version, the number of players, plugins, view distance and how big the world is. The table below is a rough guide.
| RAM | Jucatori orientativ | Utilizare recomandata |
|---|---|---|
| 2GB RAM | 2-5 players | Vanilla or light plugins |
| 4GB RAM | 5-15 players | Paper/Purpur with moderate plugins |
| 6GB RAM | 15-30 players | More plugins and a larger world |
| 8GB+ RAM | Larger communities | Modpacks, public survival or an active SMP |
| 12GB+ RAM | High traffic | Heavy modpacks or busy public servers |
These values are indicative. Your real needs depend on the version, number of players, plugins, view distance, world size and modpacks.
Minecraft platforms
Minecraft Vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Forge or Fabric?
Vanilla Minecraft is the right choice when you want the classic experience, with no plugins or major changes. It is simple to manage and well suited to private servers, survival worlds among friends or small SMPs. If your goal is to launch a Minecraft server in Romania quickly for a small community, vanilla can be a very good starting point.
For public servers or communities that rely on plugins, Paper and Purpur are among the most popular options. Both build on the Spigot/Bukkit ecosystem and are used for better performance, plugin compatibility and more configuration options. Spigot and Bukkit remain well known for plugins, but Paper or Purpur are usually preferred by owners who want optimizations and tighter control over server behavior.
Forge and Fabric are made for Minecraft modded hosting. This is the world of modpacks, custom mods, changed gameplay and communities that want more than the vanilla experience. Modded servers can need more RAM and more careful configuration, especially when they run many mods or a heavier version.
Torchbyte can be a strong fit for all of these scenarios: vanilla, a Minecraft server with plugins, Paper, Purpur, Forge, Fabric or modpacks. The key is to choose your plan by the number of players and the complexity of the server, not by price alone. Plans start at EUR4.75/mo (Rookie) and scale to Amateur EUR9.50, Pro EUR14.60 and Elite EUR19.20/mo. If you are not sure which option fits you, ask for a recommendation before ordering.
Dedicated address
Simpler connections with a dedicated IP/port
For public communities, a clean address matters. With a dedicated IP/port and native IPv6, players connect more easily and you can use a custom domain like play.server.ro instead of showing a complicated port.
Migration
Moving your Minecraft server from another provider?
If you already run a Minecraft server with another host, Torchbyte can help you move the world, plugins, configs and important data. The goal is an easier switch to stable infrastructure, without losing your community's progress.

- plugins
- configs
- whitelist/op list

Game hosting vs VPS
Game hosting vs VPS for Minecraft
For most Minecraft owners, game hosting is the simpler choice. You get a game-focused experience, faster setup and fewer technical things to manage. It suits vanilla, Paper and Purpur servers, common plugins, SMPs and communities that want to launch quickly.
A VPS gives you more control, root access and freedom for advanced setups, but it requires technical administration. You handle security, installs, updates, firewall, auxiliary services and optimizations yourself. For complex projects, proxies, external databases or custom setups, a VPS can be the right fit.
If you want a standard Minecraft server, game hosting is usually the easier path. If you need full control and you are comfortable administering servers, you can also compare our VPS Romania options, backed by AS215362 with dual 100G upstreams and 10 Gbit/s per service.
Frequently asked questions about Minecraft server hosting
What is Minecraft server hosting?
Minecraft server hosting means running a multiplayer server on infrastructure built to run the game, so you can manage the world, the players, the plugins and your community settings from one place instead of using your own home PC.
Can I host a Minecraft server in Romania?
Yes. Torchbyte runs from NXDATA-1 in Bucharest (Tier III) and offers infrastructure suited to players in Romania and across Europe, with a focus on sub-5 ms latency, +1 Tbit/s DDoS protection and simple management.
How much RAM do I need for a Minecraft server?
It depends on the version, the number of players, plugins, view distance and modpacks. Small servers can start at 2-4GB, while active or modded communities may need 8GB, 12GB or more to stay stable on busy worlds.
Can I install plugins on the server?
Yes, you can use plugins on platforms such as Paper, Purpur, Spigot or Bukkit, depending on the configuration you choose for your server.

Yes. Paper and Purpur are popular options for Minecraft servers that run plugins and want optimizations and better performance under load.
Can I install Forge or Fabric?
Yes, Forge and Fabric are well suited to modded servers and modpacks, though they can require more resources than a plain vanilla server.
Can I host modpacks?
Yes, you can run modpacks, but it is important to choose enough RAM and a configuration that matches the number of mods and players you expect.

Yes, you can use a custom domain or subdomain through DNS settings. For an even simpler connection, a dedicated IP/port can also be useful.
