Reduce lag and pick the best region

Most “lag” comes from distance, not the server. To keep ping low:

• Choose the location closest to the majority of your players (Singapore, Germany or Ashburn, US).
• For survival games, size your plan for the mature world — memory grows as players build.
• Schedule a nightly restart to clear memory build-up.
• Remove mods you no longer use — heavy mods cost CPU and memory.
