Minecraft server for kids

[cotswoldcs]

Our kids want to play Minecraft with each other and friends. Can't seem to be able to figure out how to get them to play on the same world in multiplayer mode. Has anyone installed a paid for Minecraft server using a dedicated hosting site? Currently looking at Apex and Bisect Hosting. All new to me so looking for some advice please.

Nitrado offer game servers but there are many other providers. It's about £5-15 a month to hire a server for a game depending on what specification of system you want and how many player slots you want it to have. Typically the server is in London but you can have one anywhere in the world.

Things to consider is that both kids will need an internet connection and be able to use it at the same time as they will be playing on the server, not locally. If the service has enough slots their friends will be able to play on the same game as well if they have the correct game name and password.

I believe there is a way to play minecraft over a LAN (use ethernet cable to join the two) but I am uncertain how to setup a minecraft game this way, I suspect you will need to forward and open the necessary ports to allow access through the firewalls involved.
