About This Thread:
I made this thread a few months ago to provide server owners and Minecraft server list slot renters a good idea of what prices and results to expect from the most popular renting sites. If you have any questions, corrections or additions to the thread please PM me or add me on Skype: gordojordan. If you have a unique player joins plugin and are renting a slot feel free to provide some statistics.

Before you begin reading this, please keep in mind that you may not agree with some of the information I am providing, but know that it is based off of my experience renting the slots as a server owner. This page is intended to inform server owners interested in renting slots for their server about what they might expect from a website. The server list websites are not listed in any particular order, please comment on the MC-Market thread or comment down below any suggestions/changes that should be made.

The overall rating has been determined using the combined knowledge of how effective a slot is, the length of the slot, the cost of the slot, and most importantly the ratio of the price to what it can potentially produce. Note, you may come across the cost rating as confusing, put simply the higher rating a list has for cost, the cheaper it is.
