The Problem with Slots – Why You Pay for Hot Air
Providers like Nitrado or G Portal sell game servers based on slots – a theoretical player count. A "50-slot Minecraft server" sounds great, but says nothing about actual performance. Once mods, large chunks, or many entities load, performance crashes.
The reason: You share CPU and RAM with other servers on the same host. When your neighbor's server is under full load, your gameplay suffers – even though you're paying for "your" slots.
NexoraHost vs. Slot Providers – The Comparison
| Criteria | Slot Plan (Nitrado/G Portal) | NexoraHost V-Server |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Fixed player count (e.g., 32 slots) | CPU cores, RAM, NVMe storage |
| Performance | Shared, unpredictable | Monitorable resources, stable |
| Overselling | Often massive – dozens of servers per machine | Minimal – stable even under full load |
| Storage | Often HDD or SATA SSD | NVMe SSD – blazing fast |
| Player limit | Set by provider | You set maxplayers yourself |
| Upgrade | Next slot tier (big price jump) | Fine-tuned: +RAM or +vCore |
What Your Game Server Really Needs
CPU – The Heart of Your Server
The CPU calculates everything in your game world. What matters most: high single-core clock speeds. Games like Minecraft, Rust, or CS2 greatly benefit from powerful single cores.
RAM – More Than Just Size
-
Minecraft Vanilla, 10 players: 4 GB RAM, 2 vCores
-
Minecraft Modpack, 6 players: 12 GB RAM, 4 vCores
-
FiveM RP, 48 players: 12–16 GB RAM, 4–6 vCores
-
ARK modded, 20 players: 16 GB RAM, strong single-core CPU
Tip: Plan a little extra – with us, you can flexibly adjust RAM and CPU at any time.
