Server sizes and resource caps

Foxcore sells four sizes: Starter, Standard, Pro, and Extreme. Here is what each CPU and memory cap means for a game server, and what it does not promise.

The four sizes

The create form offers four capacity sizes. Starter is 1 vCPU and 4 GB RAM. Standard is 2 vCPU and 8 GB RAM. Pro is 4 vCPU and 16 GB RAM. Extreme is 8 vCPU and 32 GB RAM.

The form also shows a disk figure for each size. Disk is not quota'd, so treat that figure as the working space the preset was built around, not a hard meter that pauses the guest. Memory and CPU are the cap that the node enforces.

What a cap means

The size you pick is the memory and CPU limit for that instance. The guest cannot borrow past it when the node is busy, and Foxcore does not silently resize an instance or add burst capacity later. One instance keeps one size: there is no resize control in the panel, and a resources change is rejected by the API. If you need a different size, contact support; it is not a self-serve action.

The game title does not change the cap. A heavy modpack and a small vanilla server on the same size receive the same memory and CPU limit. The title is a pack, not a price.

Choosing a size without guessing

A small vanilla server can start on Starter. A modded Minecraft pack, a busy survival world, or a title with a large simulated map usually needs Standard or more. Pro and Extreme are for larger player counts, heavier packs, and worlds that keep more chunks loaded.

Those are starting points, not promises. Player count, view distance, mod count, world size, and the pack itself decide the real load. There is no player-slot number attached to a size, and Foxcore does not sell per-slot capacity.

  1. Estimate the pack first: vanilla, plugin server, or modpack.
  2. Pick the smallest size that covers the pack author’s memory guidance.
  3. Start the server, join, and watch Console during a normal session.
  4. If memory pressure appears, read the cap article before assuming the node is at fault.

Sizes are shared by game and VPS names

Game and VPS share the same size names on the hosting contract. Public create is a game pack. A VPS guest needs a libvirt domain and the isolator cannot define one yet, so public create does not offer VPS. The shared names do not make a VPS available today.
