The first thing you will want to do is turn word wrap on: Format --> Word Wrap
So you want to make a server? (Windows Only)
I'm going to guide you though making your own minecraft bukkit server. (Windows Only)
I will include a port forwarding tutorial. This is the easiest way i have found. (Windows Only)
If you want to know how to get a cheap host go to the bottom!

First you will need to download your version of bukkit (go with the recommended version) that you want to use.
Link: https://dl.bukkit.org/ (Click "Recommended Version")

Once downloaded, place that into a folder. (name the folder whatever you want)
*This is a very important step*
Once you have downloaded the craftbukkit(verson) ----> e.g. craftbukkit-1.7.9-R0.1
RENAME it to craftbukkit
If you don't do that then your server wont work!

Make a new Text Document.
Now, If you run; Java 64 bit you will need this code:

@Echo off
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -server -d64 -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
pause

You run Java 32 bit (Normal Java) than use this code;

java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
PAUSE

If you want to make your server cracked then change the "true" to "false" (Without the "")

Now that you have done that you will need to save that as .bat. Go to File -> Save As -> run.bat
Once done that you can start your server, This should all run smoothly if you have used the right code.
(If you have a error then refer to Google )

Now for port forwarding. There are two ways to do this, One is a lot easier than the other.

Easy version:

Simple Port Forwarding is a simple tool which allows you to port your router very easily.

Link: http://www.simpleportforwarding.com/download (Choose a website that you trust to download this)

Once downloaded, install the program and wait for it to open.
Once opened you will see the home screen. First of all, you will need to select your router. You will find your router under the "Router Info" section.
When you have found your router, right click on the white space on the home screen. Choose "Add New"
A smaller screen will appear, select "Add Custom" For the info, simply enter the basic info.

Name -> Minecraft1
Type -> TCP/UDP
Start Port -> [Your Port]
End Port -> [Your Port]
Ip Adress -> Leave that!

When you have filled that information out, press "Add"
Once you click that, you will return to the homepage.
At the bottom right of your screen you will see, "Update Router" Press it
Wait for it to finish.
When it has finished you are done.
This type of port forwarding might not work for everyone so ill do the harder way.

Port Forwarding your Router.

Go to your desktop and press the "Start" button.
Type "cmd" then press "Enter"
Once your cmd has opened, type "ipconfig"
Scroll up until you see your "Default Gateway"
Now open your web browser and type your default gateway into your URL bar.
This will take you to your router. Most people have a password. If you dont know your password, ask your parent or contact your provider.
When you have found your password, find your "Port Forwarding" page.
Once there, enter this
(This might not be the same for everyone's router layout)

Name or Description --> Minecraft1
Inbound port or Start port --> [Your port]
Private port or End port --> [Your port]
Type --> TCP/UDP

If you only have a choice of TCP and not TCP & UDP then Follow these steps;

Name or Description --> Minecraft1
Inbound port or Start port --> [Your port]
Private port or End port --> [Your port]
Type --> TCP

Name or Description --> Minecraft2
Inbound port or Start port --> [Your port]
Private port or End port --> [Your port]
Type --> UDP

Once done, your server should be done. Your friends should be able to join and play with you.
If you don't know what your IP is then go to this link;

Want a more professional IP?

Ill show you how to connect your server with no-ip.org

Link: http://www.noip.com/

First you will need to make an account.
When you are finished, go to "Add a host"

Host Name --> [Name of your server]
Choose which domain you want to use. e.g. TestServer.no-ip.org

Yep that's all you have to do. (Don't change any other settings)
Click "Add Host"

Once your happy with your host, you need to download the DUC

Link: https://www.noip.com/download?page=win

Once you have downloaded the client, sign in with your no-ip.org username and password.
Now click on "Edit Hosts"
A small screen will appear, select your IP and press "Save"

We are all done, your server should be all up and running

*Don't forget to open the DUC before you run your server.*
