How much does a private Minecraft server cost?

My friends and I want to set up a private Minecraft server at 5 in which we set hardcore and make whoever survives last. That's actually all well and good, but the problem is that the person who creates the server is always insidious and always cheats. And he told us how much everyone has to pay but I don't trust him because he has ripped me off many times. So I want to know how much a private Minecraft server costs for a month on which 5 people each week 2 times an hour play in hardcore? I would be happy if I get an answer because I don't want to be ripped off by him again.

(p.s. My friends and I don't create the server because we don't know how to do it, that's the only reason why he's allowed to play)

A VPS that only 5 people want to play Minecraft on does not cost more than 5 euro.

Why a VPS, I mean it's not a network. A simple Minecraft server is rich. LG

Such servers can cost something. (Shouldn't take cheap offers). Or you host it privately on your PC. But it should be a good one. To do this, go to YT and search for HimGames. He explains everything very well for Mac and Windows at the same time.

Because game servers are usually always more expensive than pure VPS

Ap

Maybe 10 euro, but that's the absolute maximum

Ro

I understand. Unfortunately true, but Livingbots makes good offers. I recommended it to him because I've been satisfied with it myself for 2 years. But VPS is not that bad either, just a little more complex, but it's a matter of opinion.

Of course there's a little bit of effort involved. But you can set up an MC server in 5-10 minutes

So:

It's best to RENT servers, not buy them. Nitrado is recommended, but it is also "quite" expensive. For a server with 5 people that would probably be there. So 5 to max. 10 euro per month. Possibly. Even less. It depends on how much ram you need. I think 6 would be enough for you, aka around 6 euro PER month

Ro

Can only agree with you.

I bought a 2 gb ram server for 1 year and 100 slots on pebblehost

So, a simple server that runs 24/7 (sometimes there are servers that only run sometimes, that's cheaper) for 5 people without big modpacks or something should cost around 5-10 euro a month. It can of course be a little more if you want special equipment.
