Starting a Minecraft server, What do I need to know

Hello, I am interested in starting a Minecraft minigame server with the intent of making it public and getting active players. However I have some questions that I'm hoping that some of you may be able to answer.

1. What hosting provider should I use
2. How much ram will the server need
3. What would be the estimated cost to setup a mini game server
4. Is it really worth the time to make one

Starting a Minecraft server, What do I need to know

Hello, I am interested in starting a Minecraft minigame server with the intent of making it public and getting active players. However, I have some questions that I'm hoping that some of you may be able to answer.

1. What hosting provider should I use
2. How much ram will the server need
3. What would be the estimated cost to set up a mini-game server
4. Is it really worth the time to make one

1) Depends if you want a dedi (something I'd recommend) either OVH or Hetzner unless you contact services such as EnviroMC or Clovux and sort out a special deal.
2) Depends on the number of plugins and players.
3) Once again depends on the number of game modes and how much you need developed/built.
4) If you don't have any prior experience in owning a server I wouldn't recommend starting up a server as complex as a minigames server.

In conclusion, it's all honestly based on the server as a whole. There's no fixed amount of money you need to invest into the server, however, if you want it to become large then you'll need over $500 for advertisement alone if you would like to hire youtubers with fairly good statistics. Nonetheless, wish you the best of luck

OVH / Hetzner. Maybe use a VPS from Enviro/Clovux.
