Is 32 GB right for you?

Vanilla/Paper: 200+ players · light modpack: 200+ players · large modpack: 200+ players. If your server is smaller, 24 GB costs less.

RAM isn’t the only thing that causes lag. A fast CPU matters more for busy servers and redstone, and lowering view-distance and simulation-distance to 6–8 frees a lot of memory. Use the RAM calculator to size your server exactly.
