What are Guaranteed Players and Plugins?
Typically, most hosting providers tend to manage a 'price-per-GB' business model, where they charge a fixed amount of money per every GB of RAM the server comes provisioned with. While this might work well for most customers, it comes with some drawbacks. The first and most trivial drawback to detect is that this model generates an unnecessary amount of increased 'friction' for customers that don't know much about the technical side of server hosting.

Servers are machines specifically designed to run programs and services without being in constant need of shutting down or restarting (unlike a home PC or a professional gaming/editing rig, for instance). Since servers host that many services at the same time, most providers will usually run into trouble if they attempt to provide every single service in that machine a dedicated internet address (IP) to run on - keep in mind there are oFew readersAbout Server Resources and Provisioning

Let's see what each of these parameters do: CPU is acronym for Central Processing Unit, a little block (or 'Die', to be exact)Few readersDifference Between Shared and Dedicated Cores
Modern-era CPUs (also known as Processors) are blazing fast, having the ability to perform billions of calculations per second. This has allowed mankind to perform faster and larger calculations in shorter periods of time. Minecraft Hosting isn't the exception to this rule, of course. Minecraft, as a service, is very Single-core-dependant, meaning that it relies heavily on the performance of a single CPU core to process everything that's going on in your Minecraft world.
