for me its always easy lol
If you do it locally its easy
And with a host its easy too
Only if you use ssh it may be a bit harder but you can figure it out too

Two ways to do it.

1. Pay for Realms
2. Host a local server

Option 2 is pretty easy if you are creating a new world from scratch,but migrating worlds (like from single player with addons, etc.) has so far been a nightmare. And that's coming from a 20yr advanced IT veteran. If you don't know anything about networking and app servers, you probably want option 1.

You can do it for free on platforms like MCServerHost.

Realms will be the easiest to go with. Usually 30 day subscription for like $8/mo. Unless you want to do a custom server, there are company’s that’ll host one for you. Or you can host it yourself. Which requires you to do some witchcraft with your internet router... making the ip static.

if ur on java just google minecraft server host. i use ggservers, and so far they have been pretty good. if ur on bedrock i think u just make a realm

Im pretty sure u need to go to a website to rent a server

I use cubedhost and they are fairly cheap for what you are looking for. You wouldnt need very much memory. If you have any questions shoot me a DM, I can either point you a direction or give advice.

Idk man, but could you tell me if you know how to do it?

There is a tutorial on the official Minecraft wiki on how to do this

Google always helps me

You can download server software here https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/

Look up aternos, free server hosting 1-2 g of ram as long as your on the server, they have guides and like I said is free. And again it is 24/7 as long as at least one person is on, And there is a que once you stop the server to start it again but it takes like 30 seconds so make on account and give your friends the email and password so you guys can access the world whenever. Happy gaming!

See this.

You can't craft one. You gotta use the give command

I use Apex Hosting, I have a server running where my brother and I are playing.

We play with version 0.9.5 and we are using the 6GB server option.

They have great software services, you can download the TFG modpack via their server or you can ftp your own modpack.

Their customer support is really great too.

Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

1. If you just updated the server pack via host services then it might have some residue files from 0.7.19 that cause issues for 0.9. My idea is to make a server backup (especially your world file), delete everything and install 0.9 from scratch and then add back your world.

2. I personally use BloomHost and I find it very good. Pricing is fine for what they provide which is: a dedicated hardware, a good processor, X amount of RAM and disk space (I believe it's SSD?). What that essentially means is that, in case of many more popular hostings they either provide much older/worse hardware or shared service (essentially several different servers running on the same machine as yours). Bloom provides dedicated server (you don't share machinery with other people so better performance), they list all the hardware you will be dedicated in detail and they have a very good community support on their discord. Highly recommend.

Is serverminer hosting service?

What exactly was the issue?

I use Aternos, a free online server provider. Allows you to whitelist your friends and let them boot and access the server at will, only operates if people stay online (autoshuts off when people are gone). It runs entirely online, so no need for a buff computer.

Side note, nobody plays on my server with me anymore, could I join yours? Alternatively, you all can join mine! I'm in the steel age.

If you have an extra pc laying around you could how for crafty, I use it and love it. I can explain more if you’d like

You have two options here:

1. You can use a third party server and host your existing world or a new one on there.
   I don't know where you and your friend live but there are lots of game server providers out there, even some minecraft only ones

2. you can host your own server if you have a well enough performing pc or some other pc which you can leave running
   If your friends are not on the same network as you, which is the case most of the time obviously, you have to forward a port in your router, which isn't that complicated but since every router has a different UI, I can't tell you exactly how to do it.

I'm hosting my own Minecraft server on a Raspberry Pi btw, can't complain about it.
