## FAQ

### What is Paper server hosting?

Paper server hosting is dedicated server infrastructure optimized for running PaperMC, the most popular high-performance fork of the Spigot Minecraft server. Paper hosting includes the necessary CPU, RAM, NVMe storage, DDoS protection, and management tools to run a Paper server with full plugin support and high TPS even under load.

### Why choose Paper over Spigot or vanilla Minecraft?

Paper is a drop-in replacement for Spigot that delivers 30–60% lower MSPT (better TPS) under identical workloads. It exposes hundreds of perf knobs in paper.yml, supports async chunk loading, and has the largest active development team of any plugin-server software. Every plugin that runs on Spigot also runs on Paper.

### How much does Paper server hosting cost?

Paper server hosting at XGamingServer starts at $10.50/month for 6GB RAM with dedicated AMD Ryzen 9 7950X cores, suitable for 20–40 player plugin SMPs. Larger tiers up to 24GB ($42/month) handle 200+ player networks. All plans include DDoS protection, NVMe SSD storage, and 24/7 support.

### Which Minecraft versions does Paper support?

PaperMC supports the latest Minecraft versions including 1.21.11, with same-day updates whenever Mojang releases a new build. You can switch between supported versions through the control panel, and ViaVersion comes pre-installed for cross-version client compatibility.

### Do I need to configure Aikar flags myself?

No. Every Paper server on XGamingServer launches with Aikar's recommended G1GC JVM flags pre-tuned. You get optimal garbage collection behavior out of the box without reading optimization guides — though you can still customize the JVM flags via the control panel if you want to.

### Can I upgrade from Spigot to Paper without losing my server?

Yes. Paper is a drop-in replacement for Spigot and CraftBukkit. Simply switch the server JAR through our one-click software switcher, copy your plugins and world files (already in place), and restart. Your data, plugins, and configs all carry over without conversion.
