OK so I know netbooks are not recommended for server running but I hear I can make one using some sort of online thing so my questions are
1. What is a good place to host a server
2. Does it cost anything?

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
I have a netbook....

Sometimes, it's harder to think up a mod than it is to create it.

Searched up Amazon free cloud service and got AWS free usage tier and you can run two machines for a year.

You can get a VPS for under $10 per month.
Right now I'm using BurstNet (http://www.burst.net), I've had a few issues with them, but it's not bad for the price.
I'm thinking about trying RackFlux (http://www.rackflux.com), budget VPS starting at $4.50 / month
Just to throw a plug in, I use RocketVPS (http://www.rocketvps.com) for hosting web applications and they are rock solid, unfortunately they explicitly state you cannot run game servers in their Acceptable Use Policy.
