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.

What causes the error and how to fix it

Here are the most common problems and solutions for this issue:

A user is far away from where the Minecraft server is hosted. This causes their router to time out the connection and disconnect the user. It is commonly associated with ASUS brand routers and their default settings.
Have the user disable NAT acceleration in their router settings. This setting can typically be found in LAN > Switch Control.
It may also be caused by your Firewall. You must be an administrator on your computer:

Go to Search
Type Windows Firewall
Click on "Allow an app through Windows firewall".
Click on Change Settings.
