Back in the game

[Dev0n_]

HI there,

In my past I owned small factions servers and skyblock that had at peak times 3-4 hundred players online.
Now I am looking to get into the game so I have a vew questions.

1. What are the most popular gamemodes in minecraft (ie skylbock, factions, prisons etc).
2. Best server host?
3. Best server jar?
4. is 1.8 based servers still the way to go?
3. Any alternatives to somethign like Aqua Core, or is Aqua Core the best jar Core..
4. Are there new things that if occured would being down my network, and how could I protect this.

Thanks!

I strongly believe that chill servers or PvE servers are the way to go, so like skyblock, survival, prison, etc.
I also think that it's time to give up on 1.8 and only use 1.20+. The difference in what you can do is insane and it's just not worth it to use 1.8 anymore.

Thank you for your response.

Do you have much experince hosting a server?
Do you believe that many other people believe that we should finally ditch 1.8?
