Hi all,
Being a noob with setting up servers, I am confused by the talk about bying a server.
I recently tried to set up a server from my computer, but it used up a lot of memory and I am now seeking for an alternative.
'Bought' servers are online right and always running.
Or did I misunderstand?
Please advise me :(.

Unless you keep your computer on 24/7 the only way to make a server run 24/7 is to buy a host or set up your own host.
What is a server host? How does it work? And above all, how much does it cost?
A server host is basically a company that will host your minecraft server for you. The good thing about this is that there's less lag if you use a server host.
The pricing varies, it depends on what you want. Eg, RAM etc.
A quick google search will find you some decent server hosts. Or you could use the server hosting forum here.
