Which server hosting service should I use
I am thinking of eventually getting a 24/7 server running
It will need to handle 4 people at the most, on creative
Bukkit
dynmap
essentials
PRICING: The server will be running mainly off ad.fly clicks from a few people, and possibly donations, so less than $15 a month would be good (I have worked out that less than $6 is usually cheap crap, or not enough ram)
I don't want anything like volumedrive or redstonehost that have really bad customer service, though the service quality of minecraftlayer is not necessary
I am open to running it of a vps if I find a good provider
I have had a look around and minecraftlayer was looking good, but it costs a bit
Beastnode was a bit cheaper, but I haven't looked at reviews yet
Volumedisk was looking too good to be true, then I looked at reviews and they have no customer service?
What providers would you recommend for me?

I never had any trouble with servercraft, my server ran well and they were prompt and great help when I needed it.
I would say, however, that Ownage Hosting is the best I've found so far. They're cheap, friendly and have offered me a lot of help, and you get access to an FTP address, as well as any port you want (which servercraft require setting up first).
They'll also add SQL for a one-time $2 fee.
I hope that helps, do let us h=know which one you go with in the end

Servercraft.co is TERRIBLE. I'd suggest Minecraftserver.net (https://minecraftserver.net/)

if you want a great service for shared servers go with www.fragnet.net higher price but the customer service is awesome and the server hardware these are hosted of is very powerful.
You should try stuzz hosting its cheap easy and theres different things you can use to make it more to what you want
I LOVE servercraft.co , they have given me amazing service with 24h support. McMyAdmin and web panel included. Go for them.
Try theMcshost.com , very cheap
Try Max's MC server (crap name I know). They are really cheap and support is great (in the evenings especially). I have a 2GB server with them 50 people, no lag.
