How to Create a Minecraft Server in 5 Minutes (2026 Guide)
Forget About Port Forwarding and Using Your Own PC
Have you ever tried to create a Minecraft server on your own computer? If so, you know the nightmare: accessing router settings, port forwarding, sharing your public IP (with the security risk that entails), and leaving your PC on all day, consuming electricity and resources.
A few years ago, that was the only "free" or cheap option. But today, at Mineando, we've simplified the process so you can have your server ready in the time it takes to make a coffee, and it only costs you cents.
Step 1: Quick Registration
The first step is creating your account at Mineando. We won't ask for unnecessary data or long-term contracts. All you need is an email or a Discord account.
Step 2: Choose Your Version
You can choose specific versions, from the classic 1.8 for PvP to the latest updates from 1.21 onwards.
Step 3: Assign Resources
Here's the magic. Unlike other hosts where you sign up for "fixed plans," here you decide how much RAM you need.
- For a basic Survival with friends: 4GB of RAM is usually enough.
- For a server with many Mods: We recommend 8GB or more.
Remember: You only pay per hour. If you set up a very powerful server and only play for 2 hours, you'll only pay for those 2 hours.
Step 4: Time to Play!
Once you click "Create," the system deploys your server. Copy the IP from the panel, paste it into your Minecraft under "Multiplayer" > "Add Server," and you're good to go.
Why is it better than doing it at home?
- Security: Your personal IP isn't exposed to DDoS attacks.
- Performance: Our servers use high-frequency processors and NVMe drives, much faster than your average home PC.
- Cost: Keeping your PC turned on uses more electricity than an hour of hosting costs at Mineando.
Conclusion
Creating a professional server no longer requires being an IT expert. Jump in, configure, and play. When you're done, turn off the server and your balance will stop being consumed.
