I always wanted to create a small server for my friends and I to play on. I know how to make a server, and all my friends can connect to it, but I have to have to be online and have the server command prompt up, Is there a way to make a server for anyone that anyone who knows the Ip able to connect to it even when I am offline? Please help <3.
You have to pay for the server if you want to make it stay online 24/7. They usually cost from 1-20 dollars, but considering that it's online 24/7, it a good deal!
You will have to pay for it. If you want to create a small server just for yourself and friends, Minecraft Realms might be an option. You get a server that's always online with 10 player slots. It's probably the easiest option, because I assume it's simple to manage. It's rather expensive though. If you're looking for something cheaper, you can just choose a server host. I like McProHosting, but the choice is yours.
check to see if you (or friends, family) have any old computers lying around that can run the server software, then you can just keep it up and running on your home network 24/7... If you don't have an old one to use, you can probably build one for less then $150 with parts off of http://www.newegg.com
Thanks guys for all the replies, I was not really looking to buy a server, but, I do have quite a few rundown computers in my house I could use to have the server open 24/7.

Yes, but it's not free. You have to play for a 24/7 server, and I know a few great websites if you're up for paying a few bucks monthly, or even annually.

Download the MC multiplayer .jar/bukkit.jar/spigot.jar/whathaveyou.jar and run it off one of your computers. I would post the specs those for me to see this way I can tell you if you can run a server well on your computer.
Thank You
