# Upgrade/ Downgrade the RAM

GGServers provides an affordable upgrade in the amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) your server has access to. To put it simply RAM is what your server runs on. All the information needed to run a server is loaded onto the RAM and the more there is, the more your server will be able to handle without producing Lag. So the RAM is the processing memory, not the storage one.

|| ⚠ NOTE ⚠: We suggest you read our [guide regarding RAM](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/what-is-ram-and-how-much-do-i-need-for-my-server-chiunv/) and what is it for a better understanding. This guide also tells the recommended amount of players, mods, and plugin for each of our plans.

||| Please note that you can always upgrade your service any time you want, paying only the difference and not the full price all over again. Without any additional fees or taxes, upgrades take effect instantly. The same goes for downgrade, so when you downgrade, the extra sum will be automatically added to your account credit for future purchases with us.
