Looking To Start my Own Server

[Nutmeg]

Hey guys, looking to start up my own server in Australia. I just have a few questions I want answered here to any experienced server owners.

• How much should it all cost? Including Domain, Art, Hosting, Builds.

• What should I buy and is it really necessary?

• Where should I advertise my server to get around 10 players on at once.

• Got any good AU server hosting?

• Any good videos/eBooks on how to make a successful server?

Austrailian host are expensive af, Total cost including 1 month of host should be about $300 if you want HQ and if you are opening a pvp type of server add kevin183229 on skype, I can get Vaxile to make a video on your server

Yeah I guess. I could start it up in the US, would that make a difference for me being in Australia? Also, don't worry about making your friend make a video for me, answer these questions and I'll decide if I'm really interested or not.

It would cost about a total of $200-$500

What should I buy and is it really necessary?
Start off with a small server like 6GB~10GB

Where should I advertise my server to get around 10 players on at once?
Well, you could always use MinecraftServers.ORG and other voting sites, but otherwise, large servers that has over 3k+ players by advertising will give you a good amount of players

Got any good AU server hosting?
No apparently

Any good videos/eBooks on how to make a successful server?
Just follow your heart.. You will know if it will be successful

Thanks! That's good help.

I'll break it down for you, this is for if you want a custom (nothing premade or prebuilt) really unique and HQ server (that's not a fully custom minigame or gamemode) with lots of players

Let's say... 2 small plugins, 2 medium, perhaps 1 large, 7 plugin configurations, and 3 premium plugins
Small plugins: $5 e/a - total: $10
Medium : $20 e/a - total: $30
Large: $50 e/a - total: $50

• What should I buy and is it really necessary?

Well almost nothing is "really necessary" it's all about if you want a good quality server or not.

• Where should I advertise my server to get around 10 players on at once.

You can try several smaller youtubers, or a few .ORG hours

• Got any good AU server hosting?

Not that i know of

• Any good videos/eBooks on how to make a successful server?

Not that I know of, but if you have any questions feel free to ask

Just wanting a few questions answered. Once I'm ready and I like the answers I may start. Probably won't be anytime soon though. :c

The main problem I'm having is advertising everything else is set up... I just don't know if I'll make my money back on a relatively small investment of $100. I made my server with about $50 but then I have no custom plugins, but I have custom builds which are quite nice.
