Want to run server off my PC
Hi, I want to run a minecraft server off of my computer. I want it to run like any other webhoster. Here is what I want out of my server:
- VPS IP
- DDOS/Crash Protection
- Bungee Networking
- Public on a dedicated IP
- Plugins
- Multiple servers(Skyblock, KitPvP, and Survival)
I have never ran a server off of my PC and I would like everyone's tips or YouTube tutorials or anything that would help me out.
I will be running the server off of my secondary computer which will be upgraded to 8-32 gigs of ram.

running a network selfhosted is not a good idea
ddos protection isnt cheap if u want more than like 20-25 players on average
Selfhosting at home isnt really a good idea, but if u really want to do it I do have some tips:
- Run debian or ubuntu on the server
- Install pterodactyl panel to manage your game servers
The rest I dont know, but for ddos you could go with something like TCPShield
tcpshield free tier only works to a certain point
TCPShield isnt that great tho btw, but its the only thing I know thats free
and if he only gets 25-30 players across his entire network on average, theres no need for a network tbf
You mean bungee?
?
bungee network?
well noone should be using bungee, but a proxy network yes
I personally use Velocity, but even tho my server only has 15-20 players at a time. I couldnt go without it.
well the reason I want to run a server off my PC is because hosters like server.pro are too expensive and I have to buy the $120 per month VPS package so I can run all my plugins for both survival and skyblock
but I dont have that kind of money
what
1. dont use vps
2. dont use server.pro
3. there are certainly cheaper options/budget friendly options
well what do you recommend
#marketplace
Whats your budget?
for right now 0 but once I get a job I'd say probably 40-200
And when are you gonna get a job?
like soon or?
january of next year(family issues but essentially if I get a job rent goes WAYYYY up)
And why do you wanna start a minecraft server if u have 0 budget at the moment?
well i didnt wanna start this one i just wanted to do like a test run to see if everything would work if i made a server run off my pc
do note it wont be free if u selfhost, isp / power costs etc and if over 25 players average antiddos aswell
^^
yea that makes sense
Also, some of the plugins you will want are gonna cost money
A domain name.. also costs money
well thats like 10 usd a year soo
I already have the plugins I need and the domain name
i previously ran a server but quit my job due to unfair wages
If you self host your probably gonna be paying the same in electricity (if not more) than buying a server from a host
wow thats kinda wild
Atleast in my country that is definitly the case
well thanks for letting me know
