    Hello,I have plans to make a cheap server but idk how many ram should I choose.I'm thinking to buy a server with 1024MB or a server with 2048MB ram.If I have 1024MB ram,how many players can I have to my server and if I have 2048MB how many players can I have?

    how much ram you have actually doesn't have a great impact on your server 1024 mb (1GB) of ram should be enough for any server under
    40 or so people 2048 mb (2GB) would be enough for about 70-90

    You need at least 36 gigs of ram to have a server with 10 players

    It also depends on the worlds. How many chunks may be loaded etc.
    I have 4 GBs for 40 players because of the worlds (only 1.5 - 2 are in use, I could have 3 GBs, I know)
    If it is a factions server, it is better to have the 2 GBs plan
    Nice joke

    32 gb, what a waste, if you ever noticed, PMMP rarely used > 1gb of ram
    unless there's leakage, most times you should have invested it into some better CPU for example
    it wont be worthwhile unless you know you will be doing other things with it

    un used ram = wasted ram
    it's like buying a mansion but only living in 1 small room

    Aw man. This was going to be my next purchase. Thought 3TB of RAM was just enough...

    Edit: jk. I build my own stuff. :)

    Its not your ram. Your cpu is processing the server and the ram stores temp data of your server.
