Last month I played Minecraft Paper with a buddy, completely without plugins or mods, on a ZAP hosting server.
When renting the server it was recommended on the website that we should pay at least 4GB of RAM with 4 slots. We did this and thought it would take a long time, since there were only two of us. After we played for a while we were kicked by the server because we supposedly used more than 4 GB of RAM with our world, which is why we should book more. Somewhat disappointed, we booked 1GB in addition and were able to play the rest of the month with a "consumption" of about 4.7GB displayed on the website.
Since we actually only play together anyway, we decided not to extend the server any longer and just host our own server from my PC, where we copied the world into it. To our surprise, 2GB of my old ddr3 RAM was completely sufficient and we were able to play perfectly smoothly until now.
How can it be that you need so much more RAM on a ZAP hosting server than if you host the server yourself and is it not totally ridiculous that they recommend a lot of RAM for 4 slots, which you can then use in pairs you have to upgrade in a very short time because you are thrown from the server?
The whole thing amazes me in particular, as ZAP hosting has so many and good reviews on Trustpilot, which is why I trusted the service.
I'm a regular at Zaphosting, but the Minecraft servers are completely junk. In addition the hosting system is completely out of date. With newer hosters you pay 1 euro per month per RAM with infinite slots and get more than double the performance.
Zhosting is not a rip-off, but in a certain way it is
Yes, it sounds a bit strange.
But just the fact that you are being kicked by the server just because your RAM is at the limit, with the message to buy more RAM, sounds EXTREMELY weird. Almost dubious.
It shouldn't really be done that way. And according to my experience, 1-3GB of RAM is sufficient for 2-4 slots, depending on the plugins
Definitely scam heard from many other customers that they bought lifetime servers and that they were taken back after a month of not using them and that they didn't get a single cent back
Okay, crazy. I'm wondering where the incredible number of good reviews on Trustpilot come from.
Probably just lucky that hardly any write something negative
Well, positive reviews stay forever, just as I'm amazed that Host Unlimited is still in business…
And the company simply vetoed negative evaluations, nobody will notice anyway…
