There's many benefits to hosting your own Minecraft server ranging from having complete control over the world used, players allowed to join, plugins used on the server and loads more. Whether you're looking to play with friends on a private server, create a unique game mode or manage a large-scale community server for the public, WabbaNode can provide you with the tools and advice needed to make getting started easy.
Local vs Dedicated Minecraft Server Hosting
The first important choice is whether you should host the server locally or go with a dedicated provider such as WabbaNode. Hosting a Minecraft server locally means running the server on your own computer. One of the primary benefits of this approach is cost savings, as you don't need to pay for a hosting service. It also gives you complete control over the server's hardware allowing you to customise the setup exactly to your needs. Another plus of hosting locally is a chance of lower latency for players on the same local network. Some things to remember when hosting locally is that it requires a great internet connection, a relatively powerful computer and the technical Knowledge needed to troubleshoot and maintain the server.
