Help/JavaEdition Server Hosting - Cloud or Dedicated?

Thanks Jortenmilo, that's really helpful! Sounds like a regular dedicated server could be a good compromise, assuming it comes with DDoS protection. That way I won't need another server in addition.

Thanks for your responses guys! By hosting it myself, do you mean on my own computer? I didn't really consider that to be honest, wouldn't that require a lot of computational power and space? I had a little look into renting a dedicated server, which I assume means it will be hosted somewhere else. This guide to dedicated Minecraft servers looks pretty promising, as far as I can tell: https://www.1and1.co.uk/digitalguide/server/know-how/setting-up-a-minecraft-server-with-a-dedicated-server/

Do you think it would be really worth going down this route for the size of server we're after though? I mean, it says it's a good option for "large numbers of players", but I don't know whether 10+ would be considered particularly large. Perhaps I could cover that if I hosted myself?

I don't know much about DDoS, how could I protect against that?

Loving the visuals and the music is pretty awesome. Similar to TomConn though, I think it would to see a little more demonstration of what the server offers - it would help you to stand out from the crowd.

Failing that, you can always buy a pair of tights and use an old coat hanger as a frame. You'd be surprised, it works a charm!

I think the key is just not to take the bait. Granted, it's annoying when people go out of their way to spoil other people's fun, but just ignore and report them. There are more than enough decent people in the Minecraft community as far I can tell.

Cool, that'll really help, you can get one pretty cheap as well! Not sure how many Dinars (that's the correct currency right?) it will set you back, but it should be much.

Help/JavaEdition Teach me code?

I'd recommend giving Code Academy a try. I used it just to brush up on some basics, but they cover all sorts of languages, it's pretty comprehensive. Anyway, it's a really useful tool for self-teaching, and as far as I remember it's totally free.

I agree with the others, your biggest problem here is not being able to compete with large companies and make a decent profit margin. Don't forget, there's also your time and labour involved! Unless you build PCs for fun in your spare time anyway of course...

Looks awesome, I love the train station! How about a sports stadium? That could be pretty cool.

Video Quality: 8

Overall Opinion:7

Suggestions: I really enjoyed watching! I actually think your voice is plenty energetic enough, cool accent too. Only suggestions I have is using a pop shield in front of your mic to stop those 'pop' sounds when you pronounce a letter p or b, and maybe different music. Could just be that the music isn't to my personal taste though. Anyway, good work!

This looks absolutely amazing for graphic designers in particular, pretty decent spec too. Only thing is, I'd still go for an iMac simply for the OS... Either that or run the Surface on Linux or something.

On a different note, cool music, but not a fan of the singing, can hear some autotune in there too
