Create Minecraft minigame server?

I would like to create a Minecraft Minigame Network. Since I'm underage my budget is not that high but I think it should be enough if I save for a server with max 100 people. So I would have enough friends to run the server that you can trust. As well as a construction team, etc. Which is trustworthy would also be available. At first I don't want to sell ranks like premium or something but you should first be able to earn them with coins or the like, if the server should get a future at some point then you could consider selling the ranks but that's not all that important at first. My right question is whether you have already had experience with servers because it is not my first server but should be my first professional server, in which I also want to invest money. And if you have had experiences with hosters on the Internet, with your own servers via Hamachi or something similar, and what would work best with that. I fix the budget to the possibilities and what they are worth to me. Since I'm only a minor, it is not so easy for me to get money on a regular basis except for my pocket money. That's why I try to avoid renting servers. However, according to what I have researched so far, there are not many other options. But well, I hope you can help me. If you are interested in supporting me beyond the question (help with setting up the server, etc.), you are welcome to mention this in the answer.

Thank you in advance for reading this endless text.

For a good answer, not something like: "At your age I still played Lego" I would be very happy. Because I'm now 10th grade in high school and I know programming, etc. Also well.

And the whole thing is really thought through to the end by me.

I would host a Minecraft server myself (I even do it) but for that you need hardware that runs all day and knowledge of servers, otherwise go to Nitrado or something

Yes, I've already thought about it, only then will only my parents' electricity costs come into play: / Thank you anyway!

So if you don't get money regularly that often, you can always pay for a year in advance, because you only have to spend something once a year, which is then more.

If you want to create a professional Minecraft server then you need the knowledge and also have to be familiar with the plugins. You can create a simple 0815 Minecraft server with Aternos.de. You can then integrate up to 50 plugins according to your preferences and ideas and then design a wonderful server from them.

I also have my own Minecraft server at Aternos.de which is free and you can design the server as you would like with the help of many free plugins.

You can integrate plugins to enable an economy on the server and of course there's also a rank plugin. If you haven't really dealt with it yet, it is quite difficult to understand at the beginning because you also need plugins to protect your server from possible hackers.

Because unfortunately there are many hackers on the net looking for unsecured servers and causing damage there with their hacking programs. Sometimes they can even cause technical damage, which could crash your server.

So before you think about the design of the server you should integrate a few plugins that protect you and your server from hackers. You can find out which plugins are here:

If you have that then you can deal with the design. How to make a professional server with just plugins you can also find videos on YouTube.

So, of course, I already know my way around plugins themselves. However, the problem with free Aternos servers if you want to create them as minigame servers is that they 1. They don't run 24/7, which doesn't work with minigame servers, and 2. Because of the server's performance, no more than 10 players fit. Anyway, thanks for the answer and I'll watch the video with the plugins right away!

Okay thanks for the tip!

oh hey. You can use aternos, which is free and have unlimited slots. You can also install mods
