an affordable minecraft server hosting site
me and a few of my friends have minecraft, so I came up with the idea of buying a cheap minecraft server that we would split the monthly cost of, I haven't bought it yet and when I do I'm not giving out the IP address since it's just for my friends in real life and possibly very good friends on the web
either way I just wanted to get this out here because this is a very affordable place to get server hosting! here are some stats
to site
$1.65 per player slot
4-32 players slots allowed
optional hey0 mod pre-installed
7-day refund
if this seems pricey to you, you can compare this to other places where servers sell for as low as $150 a month!

not really, when people sell servers they are top of line computers designed for only hosting games and have some very special internet setup that I don't think is even possible to get on a PC, and these servers aren't cheap, so selling them for usage is completely logical since a single good server unit usually costs more than $10000

Servers aren't cheap to build or maintain you know. 
I could say all food should be free too, but sadly it isn't possible because people have to work to obtain it.

what's wrong with hosting a server on your own computer, i used to host a minecraft server, you just need to download the software then open a few ports.
See that post up there ^^^

Security issues. If someone knows how to enter your computer through one of the minecraft ports than you can lose everything.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

also I can just about guarantee these servers are more powerful than your computer, unless you've spent about $5000 on it
