What's the Best Way to Host a Server?
Along with the question posed by this post's title, there's also an additional question I will ask, thanks!
So, I've been planning out a Minecraft server all about having players fight there way through challenging towers to gain rewards. I've done months of planning and I'm very excited to get started. I know all the plugins I plan to use and have already paid for them, but I need to know 2 things.
1. What server host should I be using?
-I've heard Apex is good and the cheapest, but I've also heard multiple people talk about how much they dislike it.
2. Is it possible to work on a server without a host, example, create all the custom items, towers, literally everything, and then later connect everything made to a server? Just so that I'm not paying monthly as I work on the server before release, as this will obviously take months to create in-game, and I don't want to be paying monthly while it's just me working on it.
Any suggestions, advice, and thoughts would mean a lot to me! Thanks!

!pleb 1. Right. Where the hell did you hear Apex was good and THE CHEAPEST??!? It has the worst hardware for insane prices. If you’re looking for a good host, make a post in #marketplace with your PLEB.
2. You can either use a free host like fps.ms (don’t use aternos or minehut), or get yourself something like an oracle cloud free tier server which gets you 4 ARM OCPU cores and 24GB ram

You can create a server on your machine that just runs locally. Pretty easy to do that on windows, just look up a tutorial. Once it’s ready just zip up the server files and upload it to a host once you have one. There’s also Oracle cloud which you could actually run a public server on
