    Hello, i've been using aternos for a pretty long time and ive had this question for a pretty long time.
    "How many can a normal Aternos server hold?", ive looked online and ive only found.
    "since the server is 1024 ram or 1gb of ram it cannot hold more than 10 players.. is this true? since the processors for aternos run on i7's i dont understand how could a server run with 10 players.. any help on this topic would be appreciated, thanks Aternos.. love the work

    It depends on the configuration on your server.
    Modpacks and servers which many plugins can handle less players than a vanilla server.
    We've already seen users playing with ~30 people on a vanilla server fluently. Also we've already seen people playing with ~15 users on a server with a medium amount of plugins.


    The cpu type is not really necessary for the amount of players a server can handle. It depends more on the number of cores and GHz per core.
    Also the number of servers running on a host is a element of the total performance.
    But that's a topic you really don't need to care about. The is completely managed by us.


    Just play with the configuration of your server.
