I get asked this question countless times because well.. people just like owning a server.
To run a server you will need the requirements for a good speed connection:

• 1GB RAM
  
• 1.8Ghz Processor and Above
  

Running a server is not hard and is incredibly easy, so I am going to tell you how
[multipage=Windows ]
Step 1 - Downloading the Server

• You will want to download the JAR here: You must login or register to view this content.
  
• Save it inside a folder called "Server" on your Desktop
  

Step 2 - Setting the Server Up
Before you can configure anything, you need to run the JAR file first through command prompt. We're going to make it as easy as possible.

copy the following into Notepad

    java -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

save the file as "startserver.bat". Open the File and The command prompt should open with all the server information.

Step 3 - Configuring The Server
We will need to configure it, if you don't want to it's fine but the configuration is optional.
Open up server.properties that was created when you started the server, you will see some default values. Change these if you wish but I highly recommend setting

    enable-flight=false

to

    enable-flight=true

as I always get users complaining they can't fly.

Step 4 - Port-Forwarding Your Server
Minecraft Servers runs by default on 25565 so to portforward it, go to You must login or register to view this content. and look for your Router and how to portforward, it MUST be 25565 for your URL to be shorter, else it looks ugly. (my.ip:593 or would you prefer (my.ip) your choice

Step 5 - Downloading Plugins
I recommend going to You must login or register to view this content. and downloading a plugin from there. In your Server directory a folder would of been created "plugins" just drag the jars from the Plugins Website into that folder and type reload in the server to reload the server with the new jars that have been imported.
