Me and a few friends of mine wanted to buy a Lifetime Minecraft server for a Yt project.
I have now found a website (Zap hosting)
Who has experience with this and can recommend what kind of server we should get? (And with what settings)
Otherwise another question: Namely, whether you can also download free mods from the Internet there.
Wouldn't do it… Better do something else.
How so? It's just for fun
I recommend renting a server, not buying it.
Because: Especially with ZAP hosting, the basic fee is 100 euro. In addition, there are ultimately increases in performance (RAM, etc.).
At Nitrado or MC-Host24 you will definitely find what you are looking for - all on a prepaid basis, no subscription!
In addition: If you are no longer interested in the project, the server remains. With the rental server you can easily cancel.
I wish you continued success with your project!
Would rather always pay every month…
Better get a root server, and not zap that are, I can say from experience, incompetent and ignorant liars
Everything please, no nitrado
I actually only had good experiences. The support has also been satisfactory.
In any case, MC-Host24 would be an option.
Beautiful evening.
Do you know if the server can be password protected? So he's private (at Nitrado)
That should definitely work. Unfortunately I'm not sure right now. If you want to be on the safe side, use MC-Host24.de.
Oh yes - and even there I don't know exactly what minecraft server to choose. There's something like Bukkit / Spigot, Vanilla etc. I have no plan what that is x) And how do you make mods on it that you download from the Internet? I'm confused
How so? I have already registered with Nitrado
I do have experience with this. This is pure scam, you can't even gamble with 10 lines of survival vanilla
Also, Bukkit or Spigot is suitable for servers that use plugins, useful for example with a mini game server. Vanilla is just the Minecraft version without mods / plugins or other extensions. I hardly know anything about mods but you should actually be able to choose what you have installed or if you have already rented the server. At McHost24 there's a tutorial on YouTube:
I think it won't be much different at Nitrado. But what I don't find so cool about Nitrado is that you have to pay for every slot on the server individually for each slot. With most other hosts you can set yourself how many slots there should be. But you have to look again yourself. Nitrado also has a forum where you can ask questions.
First of all, I apologize for the late reply - your comment has been lost in my notifications.
As already written, the basic game is "Vanilla". This means you can't install plugins (these help to modify servers) or mods (modify the game itself, new items, etc; not relevant for normal servers).
I personally always choose Spigot. For example, plugins can be downloaded from SpigotMC: https://www.spigotmc.org/...resources/ and later uploaded to the server.
If you have any questions about Nitrado, please contact Nitrado Support, as I'm no longer completely familiar with Nitrado.
