Down Side Hosting manages Minecraft server memory and Java startup settings based on your hosting configuration.
The amount of RAM available to your Minecraft server is based on the hosting plan you purchased.
For example, if your plan includes a specific amount of RAM, that is the memory allocation available to your server.
Customers do not need to manually configure Java memory values such as:
-Xms -Xmx
The server's memory allocation is handled through the Down Side Hosting hosting environment.
If your Minecraft server needs additional memory, you can upgrade to a plan or configuration with more RAM.
Before upgrading, it is a good idea to confirm that memory is actually the cause of the problem.
