I am felt up with my Game Service shared provider’s billing policies and I seriously trying to consider all options/help i might be able to get. Including trying to just rent a suitable VPS instead…

Does anybody know anything else that might help me runs Minetest gaming servers? Or anybody here who might be able help me sort this out?

Thanks you very much in advance!

    Okay! :) Easiest to get a Minetest server up and running imho :

    1. Install Ubuntu 20.04 on a VPS
    2. Add the PPA for Minetest and install Minetest https://launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+archive/ubuntu/stable
    3. Reboot and after a few minutes connect to your VPS ip address to play the game.

    p.s. Then editing files or adding files is another chapter. And one should note that with this setup the server is not added to the public server list but anyone can register. Configuring firewall is also another thing.
