how much does it cost to make a minecraft server?

Answer 1

Technically it doesn't cost anything. You simply download the server launcher from here: http://www.minecraft.net/download.jsp and set it up on your own PC.

I would only recomend this for personal use, though.

The price of a server varies depending on how you set it up. You could even turn an old PC into a minecraft server if you really wanted to.
