When I try to upgrade, only RAM options show (not vCores) — why?

Seeing only RAM options — and no separate vCore choices — is normal for tiers where CPU is bundled with the RAM amount. Nothing's broken.

Why it works this way

On many tiers, CPU scales together with RAM: you choose more RAM and the CPU allocation scales with it. That's why the upgrade screen shows RAM but no independent core selector.

If you need more CPU specifically

If you just need more overall capacity, pick the larger RAM option — CPU comes with it.
If you specifically need more CPU independent of RAM, open a ticket and we'll advise what your tier allows.

Tip: For Minecraft, scaling RAM usually brings the CPU headroom you need along with it — separate core purchases are rarely necessary.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy cores without adding RAM? It depends on your tier's structure — open a ticket and we'll tell you what's possible.

Is the missing vCore option a bug? No — on bundled tiers, CPU scales with RAM, so only RAM is shown.
