So I've recently been looking into making a 24/7 pixelmon minecraft server because I very much enjoy pixelmon as well as hosting a server and chatting with a community.  I am however troubled because the server hosting company that I am looking to use costs $9.99 a month and the full version of my website is $7 a month which leaves me with a money issue problem.  I am worried about right-off-the-bat launching my server because I fear that no one will join and/or donate to help keep the server up.  I can't find any other good ways to discuss this because all server advertising places require the server to be up.  I'd appreciate it if everyone who reads this could check out my website and decide whether or not they'd be interested in playing on the server or donating in the future.  Also, any suggestions on what to do would be much appreciated.
