I have a small private Minecraft server. On the server I play with friends and people from YouTube. I pay 20 euro for 3 months, which is perfectly okay for me. But I always ask myself whether there are one or more ways to fund the server a little. Do you know anything about it
Clearly there's. For example, you can also start with YouTube and basically collect donations via it or collect donations directly via the server without YouTube. The only important thing then is that they are really donations, which means that you do not "give" anything in return.
Alternatively, you can also sell ranks, all you need is a trade.
All of this would only work if you are relatively well known on YouTube and / or your server is known.
20 euro for a server that runs for 3 months is expensive.
I can show you a better hoster first: Minehub.
Now to your real question:
You could…
Sell ranks
Accept donations
If you're a YouTube partner, monetize videos
That would be a few steps.
Of course, I'm available to answer any questions you may have.
Many thanks for your response!
I currently use Minehub.de
Currently the server costs me 15 euro because of discounts. Regular 19 euro
It's really getting more and more expensive.
At that time, the Minecraft servers cost 2 euro for 5 GB… Incredible
I have 3 GB RAM, 1 GB storage, Spigot 1.15.2. I did not take my own IP, it is only a private server;) 19.20 euro for three months. That was the cheapest thing I could find. But I'm completely satisfied
I'm happy when you are completely satisfied.
However, the prices were then at least 50% cheaper than now.
This is really sad.
I definitely wish you lots of fun and luck generating income to fund the server.
