S - best plan for a small team of casual players (2-5) who like to play
an official game without any mods (vanilla).
It supports all default maps and random maps up to 4k;
Order and have fun.
M - is the best option for non-casual players and teams of 5+ players.
You can install single modlets, use random maps up to 8k, upload your existing game.
With the 'M' plan, you can also run Darkness Falls - the most popular Modpack as well as Sorcery;
check the table below to see which other modpacks are included in the 'M' plan.
L - if you like to run some more resource-hungry overhaul modpacks - like 'War3zuk or
Darkness Falls with Sorcery or if you like to create
a small public server with 16+ players - 'L' plan is created for you. On the 'L' plan, you will
be able to use experimental maps up to 12K.
XL - is a plan created for the most advanced players - it will allow you to run
the most advanced overhaul mods:
Undead Legacy or host a community public server. You will be able to run maps up
to 16k (experimental).
Still not decided?
There are two main factors you should consider choosing a server rental plan:
Number of players
Maps, Modpacks and other game customizations you like to play
Each plan has a limit of players that can play on the server at the same time - you need to check what is the lowest plan which fits your team size.
You should also consider the available map size.
For the best game experience, maps need to be big enough to give each player enough space.
