Hello My name is Daniel and i have seen a lot of servers in the time  i have been playing minecraft. Some Good,Some Bad.
I have decide to gather infomation on how to become a good server in steps or you can skip the ones you dont want to do
So That Go :D





1: Server Name

It may be the last thing on the owners mind but with a good name it will make people want to click and see what it is about.

TIPS:

1.Dont have MC in the Server name 
2.On Mc Server List have colors if you dont know how click this § and its number :D 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 if you get suck find a video on youtube its full of them

2: Slots

One of the most important things in this list is about how many slots you have but i am not telling you to buy the best package on your server host just so you can have the most players have around 50-100 to begin with but don`t think just beacuse you have  that many slots loads of players will join because they wont but it is nice to know for your member to know they can bring on a group of friends on and not have to worry about it being full

3. Staff

Its hard to say how important this is (out of 10 its 10) it is very important you can trust your staff so its not always best to get them all the mcfourms. Have people you can trust along side you.

TIPS TO GETTING BEST STAFF:

1.If they say they are 18 check there old posts to double check (later on ask them there age and skype to have proof)
2.Make sure they  are mature and know what they are doing
3. Check if they have been banned before and why -----> http://fishbans.com/search.php
4. Don`t give them op after there app make them play first and try the plugin adminfun  to do /admin fakeop [Name] to see what they do with it


4. Ownership

When i join Minecraft Servers that are bad it is some times the owner of the server . So you mustn`t forgot to set the level of  leadership high to prove you are top dog but you respect people with other ranks (If it just the staff on have fun but when someones just act like you should)


5.Plugins

This is the most important thing EVER on a server. One of most famous and best plugin for a server is Skyblock .
So you may be think YEAA LETS GET SKYBLOCK well DONT YET you need to think what the members want aswell as yourself.
Plus so many servers have it so i would say to get a mix of servers (e.g. Skyblock , Hunger Games , Creative , Factions , Basic minecraft) You maybe wondering why whats the points of getting loads that too much work . Work hard and you will get  more players that doesnt mean download a map from another server . Getting more plugins means getting a bid at players respect to the server

6.Banning Staff and Users

This is important you will have to make a good  reason to ban a member of staff but you will always need to check on them and listen players about the staff. If members are breaking 1 rule not meaning to dont go and ban them give them a second chance then a tempban 1-3 days then if they do it again then ban them .

7. Listen to Members

You need to listen to your members in order to keep them so dont get Admin Chat . Members will tell you wants wrong and what they would like to see BUT if one player wants  a new spawn dont build one . If lots do build a new one same will plugins and for a staff to be removed

8. Site

DONT USE ENJIN 
The reason why i say this is all you need to learn is html because then you wont have e.g www.catcraft101-minecraftsite.enjin.com instead you would have www.catcraft101.com so dont get GoDaddy just make a site with html.
It will take a while though so make a temp site with enjin fine but dont keep it


9.TeamSpeak

Not Needed to make a good server


10. Builds (ADDON)

I Forgot to say about the buildings. Mainly good spawns have waterfalls etc. But so many servers has castles so i would spend most of the time of making a server making a beast spawn but not downloading one . Also delete any bad builds what are rude
but you wont have to if you dont to if you add it in the rules you can just tempban them




So i hope this help you if it didnt please leave why and thats stay fair about it

I would say not to do factions either, there's a ton of servers with factions already.
