I am owner of a server and it typically has about 2-9 people on at a time. How do I get it popular. I have posted it on SEVERAL different websites and haven't gotten many people. My players told their friends so on but its still not popular at all. I've had my server up for about 2-3 months. Please comment what I should do.
It's mostly going to be luck. You might try offering up spots on the server to people that live stream and do let's plays. If they have some good followers then they might follow along as well.
Meh, I just play and whoever joins joins. Gotta be careful though, if you get too desperate and promote a hacker, you could be in trouble. Have daily backups handy. My host does it for me.
I have the same, usually 2-9 people on at a time when people are on. Most of the time it is empty though lol. We've hit like 14 before.
I know a server that has been up and running for 2 years now and it only has 15 people on the more busy days. I suggest getting votifer and posting on all the other server lists there are. Other then that just wait for them to come which can take many years.

Make sure your server gives a reason for players to have fun, make weekly (or even daily) events with prizes, advertise (A LOT) and try and spread it via word of mouth. Offer a reward for player referrals.

I agree that making it an experience that makes players wanting to come back for more will work quite well. There is a server that I like to play on called StarQuest. It's PvE and PvP but the game play is much different from you average faction server. There are flyable spaceships and different planets and stuff (no mods needed!). The completely new and fun Minecraft experience always keeps me wanting to come back for more.
This and just a wheelbarrow of luck.
