Hello, I've been trying to post about my server on websites such as minecraftservers.com, planetMC etc. However, it doesn't work for they always say something about the server being offline/ server ip invalid. My server used to be cracked, however it is now premium. But still doesn't work...
They may be referring to a setting on your server rather than it's status. First thing; can you connect to your server? If so there is nothing wrong with the way it is running.
However there is an option in your server properties files called "online-mode", and it will be set to 'true' or 'false'. When it is set to true only those who have purchased a Minecraft account may connect. When it is set to false you may connect without an account, but they're name will show up as 'Player1', or 'Player2', and so on depending on how many people are connected without an account.
Many players don't like "offline" servers because it means anybody can come on anonymously without risk of being banned. Since most players expect other players who are causing grief to be banned, they will not join an "offline" server.
Check the server properties file (or contact someone at the hosting company), and see if online-mode is set to false. Change it to true and it will show up as an online server.
Any ideas?

You, and others, can check the online-mode status of your server with this web page http://gamewebb.com/msmp-server-check.php

The server has to be up when you try that, is it?
