skull it is a device to do exactly what you said.

Hamachi does not host anything to clear up any confusion it allows you to all join a shared network and therefore allows you to play minecraft.

Bukkit is a server program it is really good but doesn't host anything.

now to the question if you are looking to host a server you can really pick up some cheap servers that are just as professionally hosted as the uber large ones. someone mentioned treepuncher.com $5 a month would get you your 5 players. daddycheese.com is another good hosting service at about the same price. I would suggest getting a company to host it as you wont get the performance with a regular home solution they are less laggy and really a bit more fun as long as you know how to use ftp you are golden and on your way.

Ah. Well, I would suggest using bukkit instead. Hamachi is great, but Bukkit allows so many new features . You can find Bukkit's website here and the necessary file to run the software here.

Woah, hold the phone. Hamachi hosts servers? I thought it was a free port forwarding service (you know, in case you don't know how to port forward).

No. I think he means he uses it for his server.

hamachi is a server host. go to google and type "Download Hamachi for Free" and look for something that says "Free LogMeInHamachi Download"

What the first person said. Or just host your own. There is a guide on how to set them up somewhere around on the blogs.
