Hosting a Craftopia server
Craftopia is an open-world survival and crafting game, and its dedicated server runs on both Windows and Linux. It officially supports up to 8 players, and although the config lets you set a much higher limit, performance is not guaranteed beyond that. For a small group this is one of the lighter survival servers to host, but automation and big builds add load.
What to compare
- RAM for your group. Community guidance suggests around 4 to 6 GB for four to eight players, and 8 GB or more for larger groups or worlds with lots of automation and buildings. The stated minimum is only around 3 GB.
- CPU. A modern processor helps the world simulation, and the stated minimum is only a two-core 2.4 GHz chip, so plans above that give useful headroom.
- Player slots. Check that the plan's slot count matches what you actually want, and remember the officially supported limit.
- Backups. Bases and progress are worth protecting with automatic backups and easy restores.
- Config access. World and player settings live in server files, so look for direct access or a simple panel.
- Location. A nearby datacentre keeps combat and building responsive.
