Question 1

Upgrade your Service

Accepted Answer

If you bought a server to test plugins, to build, or to start a small server and you are in need of a little or a lot more speed and potential for your server, then upgrading is the smart move.

GGServers provides an affordable upgrade in the amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) your server has access to. To put it simply RAM is what your server runs on. All the information needed to run a server is loaded onto the RAM and the more there is, the more your server will be able to handle without producing Lag.
