helooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

so im making a minecraft server with a bunch of m3h buddies and its turning out pretty epic

we're making it (kinda) RPG with NPCs, trading stations, towns and cities, rentable properties and even a tutorial island.

when we finish, we want the public to visit whenever (24/7) instead of having to connect through hamachi (which is what we're doing atm)

if anybody can help us and telling us what to do in order to get like a proper address so more people can visit, please reply/message me!

if we get this thing up its gonna be pretty cool

thanks guys xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm not really fussed on how much to pay (well, a little) just need some answers. aha.

You need to get a server - I'd recommend one from http://www.multiplaygameservers.com/ (as it requires the least amount of knowledge and is really easy to setup)

Pretty good prices, is it easy to install bukkit plugins?

Should be just as easy as doing it on your PC.

Keep in mind that I'm stupid.

With these servers can you just upload your own world with all the plugins and everything? And is it easy to edit the permissions?

Thanks

They have a list of plugins that are available for install, and if there is anything they don't have, you can e-mail them and they'll normally add it

It's just as easy to edit the permissions on this type of server, you have access to all the text files for the vanilla server then all the plugins on top of that.

You can upload your world (you e-mail them with a .zip of it) and they'll add it to your server. You then add the plugins you want through their ClanForge system.

That sounds cool but I saw the price at like £1000 per year, so I might give it a miss atm.

Thanks all +rep

You can get pretty good servers pretty cheap, I was using a VPS with Fragnet when I had my server, they have pretty decent prices and I had no downtime at all, the only problem I had was with bukkit taking so long to update and people updating their clients too quickly meant they couldn't get on the server.

Installing bukkit pluggins with fragnet was stupidly simple so I imagine it's no different with any other hosts, if you have problems then they seem to offer a lot of support with everything.
