One question: Your basic package says 1GB of RAM. Is that 1GB available to me or is the OS using some of that to. The reason I am asking is I have been considering something like this to run a Minecraft server for my kids and their friends. Ever since I changed providers their port forwarding is broken and I can't serve it from home. However to run efficiently a Minecraft server needs 1GB to itself so if the OS is using some of that RAM getting the basic service is out and so are the other options since they are not affordable for me.

If it doesn't work on a 1GB VPS, it probably won't work on the Standard plan. But it might, if you can allocate a bit less RAM for Minecraft's java process and/or use some swap.

I'm adding this to the list of things to test during the public beta, because we do want people to be able to run Minecraft on the Standard server. Java is just such a memory hog!
