** my main language is not english so sorry for all gramma mistakes **
Hey, if i have 500$ should I start doing server?
I want to create Network with Practice, HCF, Build (Creative) and Bunkers/Kohi SG.
My budget is 500$ (only for plugins, for machine and adversitement i have solo budget).
I want everything custom (or forked).

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

i mean to be honest you could get alot of custom plugins for $500 you could get forks but not custom Eric and Layton are great developers so contact them

At least he asked, he has an idea that premium things cost money so that's a great start! Most people just come on asking for free things which is insulting.

Host: $90/month (What edvio said)
Builds: Recruit a build team, my 1.3k player network never ever paid for builds, we had a full volunteer build team that built awesome shit
Advertisements: Contact youtubers streamers, (not anyone huge obviously) and ask if they'd be willing to try out your server, again its what we did and it worked.
HCF Cores: No Idea
Practice: I've got a full custom, exclusive practice plugin I can sell for $100.
Bunkers and Kohi SG: No idea.

You don't need fuck tons of money to start up a network... You don't need a lot of gamemodes either, start it off small then expand.

It's very hard to start an HCF server if you start small, there's Velt, Faithful, soon to come Arcane and a lot of other HCF servers. You have to start off with a bang if you want to start up with HCF.
Yeah HCF isn't great tbh

Well most people try to fucking make a hcf server using shitty plugins like ihcf etc that why there is nothing unique about these new hcf servers if they had there own ideas and features they would become a big server

No, $500 is nowhere near enough to start a server with those gamemodes.

Hosting - $150~/m
DDoS protection: $100+/m
Builds: a fuck ton for custom ones
Website & Buycraft: $200+
Advertisement: $500+
HCF core: Varies
Practice core: Varies, all the public ones are garbage
Build: Not sure, I'm not into it
Bunkers: There are no good public plugins
Kohi SG: There are no good public plugins

You'd most likely be looking at $1300+ for the entire thing, you'd also have to put a lot of work and planning into it.
Host - $90/m
Builds: Depends
Website & Buycraft: Not much, Buycraft is £7,50/m and you can get a decent website for a few dollars
Advertisement: $500+
HCF core: Forks - Up to $100, Custom - Over $300
Practice plugins: idk
Bunkers: idk
Kohi SG: idk

I have solo budget for machine, ddos protection, buycraft, graphics (i get it for free) and builds (i have them really cheap).
I want to spend 500$ only for plugins, also i have solo budget for adversitement.

HCF is dead, Maybe make a skyblock pay 1-2 youtubers to make a series, and keeping expanding from there.

I don't understand why people have the urge to open 100 servers at a time.

1) if you've ever opened a server before you know how stressful it can be at times, now multiply that stress by how many ever servers you open.

2) You don't need 100% custom plugins. There are a lot of good free/premium plugins that will do exaty what you want them to do.

3) I can't stress this enough. DONT open multiple servers at once. Start with the game mode you like the most and would like to see succeed. If your player base grows then you open another server and do the same thing. That's how growth works. You may open with a lot of servers and somehow get a lot of players, but those players will leave because you won't have enough staff, or all servers could have having issues and due to lack of experience you won't know what to do, and a million other things.

4) If you're going to open a server and want to advertise, don't hire HCF related YouTubers. For some reason, these people believe that they get millions of views and charge way too much. Hire someone who likes to play minecraft and has a decent view base, they will likely do it for much less than these money hungry fucks.

Tldr; Yes, you can open a server with $500 if you're smart about it, and don't spend money on things you don't need.

Those are some of my past experiences. Do your research.
