I was wondering if its possible for someone else host the server but im still the owner please tell me if possible and if u want to do this tell me

You can pay server hosting companies, such as GoDaddy, which I do, to host the server.

Maybe i can be a co-host if anyone is willing to do this i play alot so i can keep the server from bieng griefed if u do tell me the ip
and ill give u my ign

Here's the thing. Servers cost time and money. If you ever find one that is for free, it's probably a scam. Server owners have to invest time and money into keeping them up. Not to mention the fact that most consumers (re: average people) don't own super ultra efficient computers that are up to spec to run even a small minecraft server. Electricity is not cheap, neither is the time required to ensure that backups are taken care of and that a plan is in place incase of power failure or other natural disaster. I speak from experience, I used to run a minecraft server from my home. While it was a blast, it's just not something that I can support at this time, and I think you'd have to be insane to offer to host a server for a stranger for free.

im sorry mr hater i was just asking a question and not every server has to be payed for certain methods r free

I understand that and I'm not trying to hate on you or put you down, I'm simply stating the facts as to why servers are typically not free to host. I am unaware of any service that will host servers for 100% free. Also, your language, grammar, and temper do nothing to help persuade people to host a serve for you.
