A safe Minecraft server that won't break the bank. Game data is preserved across sessions. Server is hosted on a permenant IP address. You need to start the VM each session, but it will shutdown within 24 hours if you forget to turn it off. Process is run in a sandboxed VM, so any server exploits cannot do any serious damage.
We are experimenting with providing support through a google doc.
Help us make this simple for others to use by asking for help.
