What plan do I need for a big network (proxy + lobby + survival + auth, hundreds of players)?

A big network isn't one giant server — it's several servers sitting behind a proxy, each sized for the job it does. That means you plan a network piece by piece rather than buying one enormous plan.

How to size each piece

• Proxy (BungeeCord/Velocity): light on RAM (1–2GB) — it routes players, it doesn't run worlds.
• Lobby: 2–3GB.
• Each game/survival server: sized like a normal server for its playercount (see the sizing answers).
• Auth/limbo: small (1GB).

Putting it together

1. Map out your network: proxy, lobby, each game server, and auth/limbo.
2. Size each server from the guide above.
3. For hundreds of concurrent players, favour Supreme/Ultimate (Ryzen) backends.
4. Open the extra ports you need (the Ports tab) for the additional servers.
5. Open a ticket and we'll help spec it and price the multiple services.

Tip: The proxy stays light no matter how big the network gets — spend your RAM budget on the game servers, not the proxy.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need one huge plan for a network? No — a network is multiple servers behind a proxy, each sized individually.

Can you help me price it out? Yes — open a ticket and we'll help spec the network and price the multiple services.
