For anybody curious about our load numbers:
We load Budget MC nodes to 60GB RAM out of a total of 64GB RAM. As a ratio of sold RAM to total RAM, this is loaded significantly higher than Premium MC nodes, but still well within our always-undersold guarantee offered to our customers.
Premium MC nodes are, by default, loaded to 25GB RAM out of a total of 32GB RAM.
As mentioned in the original thread, we recommend Budget MC to customers who want to run personal or smaller/new servers (or those who want a basic server that works fine and who don't need to pay extra for semi-managed support), while Premium MC is generally recommended to those customers who want to prioritize high-end support and performance.

I have been using Ready2Frag for a premium Minecraft server for the last 7 months. I found Ready2Frag via this forum, after needing another host when my previous host changed payment options, and would no longer allow Paypal.
Ready2Frag have been a brilliant host, I have had superior performance (less lag and issues than my previous provider), for a great price. Not that I've needed Support much, but when I have contacted support (setting up a sub-domain for example) they have been great and prompt.
I am no longer needing a Minecraft server, due to people in my community no longer playing currently, however if I do need one again in the future, I will definitely be looking at Ready2Frag as my top preference. As such I can highly recommend them for anyone looking for a new Minecraft server.

We're working on the finishing touches for our new site design!
To us, the new site is more than just a new look. It's a new way of doing business and a new policy of focusing on our strongest areas.
With our new site, we're going to be discontinuing the following services:
Web Hosting
Budget Minecraft
Existing customers will be allowed to keep their services or will be transferred to uplevel services with grandfathered pricing, but no new orders will be accepted as of Monday (10/19/2015). We've decided to take this course of action in an active effort to consolidate and simplify our offering of services, as well as shed areas that haven't sold well without the loss of customers or their data.
We appreciate your business sincerely, and look forward to a long future of providing well-priced, premium services to our customers. We're not going anywhere anytime soon!
In addition, stay tuned for the new website - we've got much more awesome news to go along with it!
When you buy hosting, you expect your server to be online and available for a reasonable amount of time per month. We're proud to uphold a 99.99% uptime guarantee, backed by our SLA. If you experience downtime on your server, and the issue is confirmed to be on our end, we'll honor and uphold the claimed compensation.
Unlike budget providers, our facilities feature diverse fiber entrances into the facility, greatly reducing the impact of fiber cuts similar to the ones that have occurred at OVH's BHS Canada facility twice this year. We're proud to own all of our hardware and colocate in premium data centers that focus on performance, security, and uptime for all customers.
We're transferring all active budget MC clients to our premium MC services tonight! All clients will be keeping their files, major settings, and IP addresses - one of the many benefits we can provide through ownership of our hardware and IP space!
As promised, we're providing a free upgrade to our existing budget clients as a way of saying thanks for their help and support in an experimental product range.

Since many new modpacks are requiring Java 8 support, we've decided to upgrade our nodes to Java 8. We're looking forward to fully supporting the latest versions of popular modpacks, as well as the performance improvements that Java 8 brings to the table.

Reminder about the upcoming site update - in 20 minutes, in fact! Please note that our site will be inaccessible for some while DNS updates. The client area will only be offline for the duration of the WHMCS update, which will take only a few minutes under normal circumstances.
We're now offering awesome Intel Core i7-6700K dedicated servers! These awesome brand-new processors feature a smaller manufacturing process (meaning more efficient power usage and less heat production), the updated Skylake architecture, and DDR4 RAM!
At 4.0GHz and with the Skylake architecture, this makes an excellent dedicated server for large Bukkit/Spigot or modded servers who want the best possible performance out of each core. This processor features as much as a 20% improvement in performance over the E3-1271v3 processors currently in use by some of our largest customers, based on user-provided benchmarks.
A common issue we've noticed with clients who run DynMap (the popular online map viewer plugin) is that their servers use significantly more SSD space than an average server.
A Bukkit or Spigot server with multiple large world could use upwards of 50GB space by itself, which tends to breach our fair usage policy.
Luckily, there's a simple solution to fix disk usage with this plugin:
Log into your server with the Multicraft Web FTP or your favorite FTP client.
Navigate to /plugins/dynmap/
Open configuration.txt in a text editor.
Use the "Find" function and search for image-format
Change the image format from png to jpg
Delete the folders inside /plugins/dynmap/web/tiles/ (such as world, world_nether, world_the_end, etc.)
Regenerate the world from in-game.
We kindly ask that clients currently using DynMap follow this procedure for the benefit of both themselves and other clients on the same machine.
As always, our support team is available if you have any issues, concerns, or questions for us.
Thanks!
