Hey does anyone know of a way to put multiple instances on a single server? I have some friends that play DW20 but others that want to try TPPI, so I was looking for a way to do this. If I need to I can spin up seperate smaller servers (I have it hosted on a cloud enviroment). Currently though because of the server sizing, pricing, ect, it would be better if I could have it on one server.
Multiple instances/packs on single server?

This is a vague answer that isn't necessarily true. You can run multiple instances of Minecraft on one machine. They just need to be assigned to different ports. Also, you need to make sure what ever server you are using can handle it.
As far as going in-between two different modpacks in-game, no. That is not possible.
Shared hosting providers do this, they run multiple minecraft servers on the same machine. Just assign a different port to each server using server.properties. You can even use a SRV DNS record to stop your users from having to type in the port number.
This does introduce a lot of memory overhead, although CPU overhead is fairly minimal.

However memory gees days is cheap don't worry about that part, some hosts sell 6GB for $20. Focus on the CPU and how many servers your running on it.
