High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
It's profitable if you have a good work ethic. You don't need a crazy budget to profit whatever you put in you have the opportunity to double or triple your revenue.
Also known as, let's bust a few grand on a few custom gamemodes, and then bust a few more grand on advertisements. We're talking something around $500-$1k, not like $5k[DOUBLEPOST=1525308576][/DOUBLEPOST]And lastly, if we're talking money that is needed to make a server, Prison would definitely be one of the more expensive ones, as you have to get at least 24 mines, a spawn, and some other places. I'd honestly go with Skyblock or Factions. You can easily think of creative and unique features to add to Factions, and it usually doesn't require much money.

Yes, Owning/Managing a server is still profitable, As long as you have original games, original features and something that makes the players keep coming back for more. Avoid making a factions server at call costs factions is so overrated and there are way to many factions servers. Do not pollute the server community with another factions server, As you will not profit from it.
I think that the community is to deluded to understand that you don't always have to go "all custom", there are much cheaper and easier ways to get a profitable and active server. Factions can easily make a few thousand a month, it just depends on your advertisements and the server setup/features.
Most of the time, Players think they can get away with free plugins and no advertising and stuff like that, But they end up disappointed in the end. A better way of doing this is to simply put some effort and money into it. Simple as that.
Not really... in factions most players expect massive ftop prizes that are mostly paypal. And then you barely end up with any profit.
From what experience?
sorry but i done never heard of these servers
Lol. I bought stuff on Hytheria. I tried to chargeback. and i was told that the owner's paypal is blocked (Snimka). Just an interesting question. If you are offering f-top prizes, for those 3 servers; let's take a second think a bit of common sense here. If your paypal is blocked where would you be getting the money for the payouts? At one point Hytheria had a top prize of $4,000. Iratus i believe has a prize of $3,000. If your also trying to say that Minecraft servers aren't profitable. I just don't understand why you would go ahead and make a third server (Valane). To me that doesn't seem logical. Regardless, they really aren't worth making. As for the fact of advertising, development etc...
iratus & Hytheria are pretty big servers.
never heard of them, they sound like generic faction servers
I worked for TimelessPvP. This:
That was almost 2 years ago. Something that used to be profitable probably isn’t anymore
