Formulas applied

RAM = (2 + 0.1 × 32) × 1 × (1 + 25%) + 1 = 7.5 GB
vCPU = ceil(max(2, 32/20) × 1 × (1 + 25%)) = 3
data = (10 + 0.05 × 32) × 1 = 11.6 GB
backups = data × 50% × 7 = 40.6 GB
disk = (data + backups) × (1 + 25%) + 20 = 85.3 GB
peak = 32 × 60 kbit/s = 1.92 Mbit/s
traffic = peak × 50% × 2 592 000 s × 24/24 / 8 = 0.31 TB/30d

How to use Server resources & cost calculator?

A VPS or dedicated server that is too small makes the game lag; too big and you overpay. This tool gives an order of magnitude from the slot count, with fully visible formulas you can correct.

  1. Choose the profile closest to your game and the target slot count.

  2. Add a mods factor (1.5 to 2 for heavily modded servers) and the safety margin.

  3. Refine the assumptions (base RAM, per slot, cores, disk, bandwidth) with your own measurements.

  4. Compare the result with hosting offers; enter your unit prices to estimate the monthly cost.
