Hey Minecrafters,

I used brohoster in the past, and I can't seem to find any info on this forum about server hosts. Which ones do you use?
Are there any that can have mod tools built in? I want to make a 2000 block by 2000 block map, so is there a bukkit plugin for that sort of map restriction? Thanks.

How fast is your internet speed?
If you just want to mess about with a few friends you may be able to just port-forward and host it yourself.

As for your server, let me put the incoming boxes into English for you, running a Minecraft server isn't a piece of cake, you'll have to read up quite a bit and spend hours playing around with Craftbukkit and the various plugins for it, if you aren't prepared to get into that, then you aren't prepared to run a Minecraft server.

I recommend looking at this before you look at renting a server.

Beastnode.

Go with ElpisHost and don't look back: http://elpishost.com

I have a server there for like ages and I can't name a single thing to complain about

Edited:

And use WorldBorder to limit your map, it's a bukkit plugin

Wow, nice prices. Might actually move from Beastnode to that. Thanks for sharing this mate.

I can vouch for ElpisHost, had my server with them, so far 100% uptime and excellent support, good host, also might want to give these a quick read:

Thank you inacio and others :)

What the fuck kind of host did you send me to?

When I placed my order I got this message

Your IP 50.72.54.144 banned

Ban Reason: MaxMind: Detected possible fraud

Ban Expires: 1969-12-31

and I tried emailing them at emailsales@elpishost.com; tyler@elpishost.com

and the message failed sending. What the hell is up with this?
They just lost a customer :\

I'm sorry, even for $7/month I'm not going to risk potential chargebacks and issues with our PayPal account.

[wallyroberto_2]

Oh damn, I realize now that I entered my current address while the one my paypal is set up to is my old address. I apologize for slandering your business.

And the 1300 mile gap between your address and the IP location???

I put in Winnipeg Manitoba, and I have a computer sitting here in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Hell if I know.

This doesn't even work.

It tells me I can only run myself and 1 other person where I have had 5 people playing at once with 0 lag.

Very reasonable and the Customer Support is amazing, you can a reply very fast and they even offer help with some plugins or troubleshooting. And they run their own Control Panel which means their prices are cheaper than some.

[matey9]

Even if the performance blows donkey balls, give it a try hosting it yourself, if for nothing else then the experience of doing so.

I know a REALLY good place, and they have good prices for slots (i pay 8 bucks for 6 slots) and they do most of the work, (when there are updates for bukkit, it tells you so.) and you can upload maps, etc.
