I'm sure you all know that it costs a lot of money to run a real ongoing server for the public. But what if it didn't? I know what your thinking server owners: yea, we can host our servers for free, and have as many people as we want on it, but we won't get donations. Well, I'm not saying servers should run for free, but I do think that you should be able to run a server without having to pay that can hold at least 20 people. It would be nice, because you can only host a free server that can only hold up to about 4 or 5 people. So maybe if notch or job sees our request, they would make it happen! :) So I am only requesting for free servers to hold up to 20 people without having to pay. It would be a lot better for people who want to run a small server that can be public or just for them and their friends.

That would suck. If you get everyone who can't get a server out of the millions of minecraft fans that want one, & give them one that has 20 slots, Mojang would need a lot of space.

I've tried to make a server before, and I almost did. I just can't figure out how to port forward. Can you help me?

Isn't Minecraft Realms kind of like what you're saying? The only problem is that you think it won't cost money because they are small servers-mojang would need a massive number of servers to power all the little mc servers people would be running, and it would be like burning money. Most people can set up and host a small server themselves. I think MC Realms is going to be free and basically what you said though. Also, the larger servers cannot host themselves for free, they are massive and require professional hosting to run.
