So before you order more RAM, and end up paying more money, it&#8217;s best to contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/tickets\/add\">support team<\/a> first so they can take a look at it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The display of the amount of RAM currently in use in our web interface may, under certain circumstances, show a RAM usage level that seems confusing to you. This happens most often with Minecraft, which runs on Java. This is because Java typically allocates all available RAM, even if it isn\u2019t actually needed. As a result, the display may indicate that you\u2019ve reached your RAM limit. In reality, however, this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that your server is actually using all of the RAM. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please feel free to contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/tickets\/add\">support team<\/a>, and we\u2019ll be happy to clarify the situation for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every now and then, we get asked whether the amount of RAM on GPORTAL servers is limited.
