What do you mean something on the website? Are they completely inaccessible or just temporarily? That really is the only way to find out. Otherwise you could contact their customer support and see who accessed it and deleted the world.
Wanting to control it all is fine and everything, but renting is better because bandwidth is superior. Home accounts typically cannot compete with a hosts connection. Your players will be far happier on a more robust network.
I 100% agree with the quoted. Renting a host not only relieves your computer's stress and adds at much more power for players, but also that much more power for you yourself to play as well. It doesn't eat up your "personal" wifi because 99% of hosting uses professional-grade internet. The biggest thing about renting, though, is up-time. I don't know about you but my router either goes out or accidentally comes unplugged all the time, whereas that almost never happens when renting. Most hosts maintain a 99% uptime guarantee.
Your 100% sure the IP address is correct with the server and portforward? Occasionally your computer will release and renew itself if it sees a complication. When I am home i can Skype & Teamviewer with you to help/do it for you
Firewall. If you port forwarded correctly, then its your firewall, and that is what it sounds like. To test it, temporarily disable it and try connecting. If that works, then simply make an exception for port 25565 in your firewall.
NOTE: When you're testing your port, the server must be running. Otherwise it'll say it is closed.

The abruptness, in my opinion, comes from the top coming out one whole block instead of something breaking it up (stairs or slab). Find a way that appeals to you to break up that bottom and it'll look less so.
Let me be perfectly clear: I absolutely, positively, 100% recommend finding a host online rather than building your own makeshift server. I simply answered the question, because the OP figured it may be cheaper if the server was up for longer than a few months (which, up-front it is more expensive, but considering the package option these days it is cheaper if it is up for a year or so).
With that being said, an online service (not naming any names) is better simply because of downtime guarantees, customer support, and other options that they can give you.
I just took the Minecraft Noob test! Check out what I scored. Think you can beat me?!

if you want a extra case, I guess you can use medium good quality set suitable for case, then I suppose you are good.
The case has literally zero affect on the performance of the server. In fact, a case itself is bad for the server as it restricts air flow; an open environment helps keep everything cooler.
Go to http://pcpartpicker.com/list/gLWQd6 I made the list in a couple minutes, I am good at building PC's and server computers. it has 16 GB of RAM (12 usable for the minecraft server) Which would allow you 144 players if you have 1000 mb/s up and down. Hope you enjoy building the server!
The PC he is making is going to be JUST for minecraft server - he doesn't need 16GB of RAM. No one needs 16GB of ram.
With that being said, OP, you really only need 1.5 - 2GB of RAM to run 45 players on a server. Of course more is recommended (in case you're running a heavily modded server, or your server gets a big boom in your player base); RAM is relatively cheap nowadays, so getting how much you want is up to you. I recommend 4-8GB to cover all your bases. My laptop has 4, and I run a minecraft server, chrome, minecraft, etc. just fine with it.
You don't need the keyboard, monitor, or the mouse (I'm assuming you're on a desktop). Just take them from your first desktop, configure the server, and move them back when you're done setting the server up. (You can also of course remotely connect to it, at which point you only need the monitor and mouse to set the computer up).
As for Storage (hard drive), you don't need much, but you really want an SSD versus and HDD (SSD is flash, like a flash drive; HDD is literally a disk that spins; the flash is much, much faster than the disk, and it is much harder to lose data on the SSD).
You don't need an optical drive.
Any new-age CPU is good. AMD-FX, AMD-FX Black Edition, or any Intel -i5s would be best.
The issue you will run into will be the network. Of course the goal of a server is to be on as close to 24/7 as possible - for home networks, this is difficult. The faster the better. The amount of devices on that network (parent's computer if you live with them, or your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband's computer, cell phones, online dvd players, smart tvs..... everything is connected these days) all take a toll on the network. For best results, forgo a wireless adapter and plug the PC into the router via an Ethernet cable.
NOTE: This is all under the assumption that you're building this PC to run and only run the Minecraft server, whilst you play on the server via a different computer.

Are you using a server? Does it do backups? Does it log commands? Are you hosting on a personal computer? Need more information.

What group manager plugin are you using? You can always have a first-login command that gives them the money and item.

Yes, the "PC" version is compatible on both Mac and Windows with the one license

I haven't used AVG in years, but you may have to enable it there.

Do you have any antivirus software?
