Me and 2 of my friends are looking for a good Minecraft server host. We're currently using a free provider, but the RAM is only just enough, which sometimes results in lag (maybe just because of the server). And and that is the most important thing, the server switches itself off after 5 minutes if nobody is on the server. We're looking for a server that runs 24/7 so that you don't have to make an appointment, but if you only have one or two free time you can simply join at any time and play in the world. It may cost a few euro a year but not too much otherwise we will continue to use the free one. Maybe you know a good host who
does not lag or bug
Is online 24/7
provides enough RAM and cpu performance for 3-5 people
Costs no more than 10 euro a year
we don't play often, but when everything should run straight away, hosting yourself is not an option
If your PC is performing well, you can run the server directly on your PC, and even run it online, but with a few detours, which are very fast, and free of charge.
If you want more information, just get in touch again. You can turn the server off and on whenever you want.
For the price you can only host myself, but I also need a PC that is not completely bad and the internet shouldn't be the worst either
https://server.nitrado.net/deu/offers/minecraft-vanilla
at Nitrado you get 38.99 for 1 year
that's the cheapest thing you can get, where you can get something reasonable
4 people can play and you have 1024 RAM
should be enough for you but 10 euro you can forget the server costs are much higher
and if you do that via your PC you have to reckon with electricity costs that you or your parents pay, which are then significantly higher than 40 euro for over a year
There are many ways to set up a permanent Minecraft server. As already mentioned, you can set up a server on your own computer, but your computer must be switched on at all times. You also need other programs or you have to activate your IP, which is not recommended and poses a security risk. I personally host my servers with different providers.
I can recommend prepaid hosters, dashserv or BeroHost. Unfortunately, you have to set up the server there yourself, but it is then always available and your friends can play on it at any time.
If you want, I can also set up a free server for you, which has 5GB of RAM and sufficient performance for your ideas. You would also get a web interface. Completely free. If necessary, you are welcome to contact me and I can also explain why I provide such a service free of charge.
