When you see "4GB+ plans," it simply means plans at or above the 4GB RAM tier — often where certain features or recommendations begin. It's not saying 4GB is the smallest option available.

Note: VPS plans aren't sold any more. If you already have a VPS with us, message the team for help.

What "4GB+" means

The "+" is just shorthand for "this tier and larger."

  1. It refers to plans with 4GB of RAM and larger.
  2. Some features or recommendations are framed as available "on 4GB+" tiers.
  3. The label itself isn't a minimum — though Minecraft plans do start at 4 GB today (Budget and Supreme from 4 GB, Ultimate from 8 GB).

Tip: If a feature says "4GB+", pick a 4GB-or-larger plan to make sure you get it.

Choosing the right tier

Let your workload guide the size, and use the "4GB+" label as a signal.

  • If you need a feature marked "4GB+", choose a plan at that tier or above.
  • For lighter workloads, smaller plans may be all you need.
