Hm..I think that there may have just been a control panel lyingly saying that I was using less RAM than I actually was using. So, onto the next problem, I guess...
Downtime Update #4

So, I thought I should make a proper aritcle explaining what's going on with the hosting problems.
Some of you guys seem to have got the impression that I'm finding it hard to find any hosts willing to be of use to me. While I do really appreciate how eager you are to help, it's not hard to find a host, no matter how tiny -or nonexistant, even- your community is. It's simply a case of trudging through the hundreds of bland and similar hosts, reading reviews, comparing value, etc (so do still tell me if you do see a host that looks very impressive... :P).
The reason it's taking me so long, is because a fairly new VPS hosting company caught my eye, and I decided to give them a go.
While they are AMAZING value, and they have pretty decent customer support, problems with the VPS, or with Multicraft, keep coming up. There's been at least 5 times when it's all looked fine, and I've started to get the server ready to be opened up, when another error has suddenly sprung up out of nowhere.
Assuming that they can make this thing stay working for more than half an hour, I'll keep using them for now, and open up the server, and then I'll either start looking around some more for a more reliable, but worse value, bland, and less flexible hosting company, or I'll work on getting the server into a more polished condition, if I decide to stay with this company.

Not yet, customer support isn't exactly being helpful with this problem...

It's fine with 800 MB, the problem started when I gave it 1024 MB (exactly 1GB). The VPS has 1.5 (well, 1.49, to be exact :P) GB RAM, and the OS only needs around 200 or 300 MB, so I don't get what the problem is.
I haven't tried it with 900 MB yet.

That's an odd problem, How much RAM can keep the ghost away? :P

Hm, it seems that the server works properly as long as I don't allow it to use much RAM...
If I give it too much RAM, it summons that 'ghost' and everything breaks :P

You probably should look for more up to date reviews if you get a host, the host I used to use, that went bankrupt and gave little notice for people to get their files, is on that list as the most trustworthy host..

Well if it dosn't work go to the top ten web site I gave on the homepage it had really good hosting reviews as far as I saw and
Some were only 2$ for the server cost!!! But the more effective ones were about 6-9$

Well, the fact that -1 (yes, MINUS ONE) players are on the server might be interesting.... xD
It also does a pretty good job of summing up how this is turning out :P
