Okay, I am basically a noob when it comes to servers. I have had some experience with shared hosting and running a Forum.
I am on an extreme small budget, so this plays a role in my decision. My problem. I want to run a small Minecraft server for family. At the most, there will be maybe 5-6 people on it. I cannot set up one on my computer at home, because it is an older computer and not very well suited for being a server and a computer to do tasks on. (Only a single core processor). I also would like to have a family web page and/or forum for family and friends. So do I need a domain name or two domain names? Can I run a family web site with a Minecraft server?
For the Minecraft server, I would like to add some mods to it.....Is it possible to run more than one world on a server at a time? (Maybe a world for the kids and another world for adults, and a world for Christmas time.)....so what kind of hosting should I get.....shared? VPS? and will I be able to do more than one task on the server at a time. What kind of ram and storage should I get on it? Would I need to get more than one domain name for the multi use or could I use subdomains?
Hi! I suggest you use webs.com for your website, it is 100% free. For multiworld configuration, using multiverse will work( multiverse is a plugin). Since this is your family, a basic shared hosting with 1-2GB of ram would be enough. With multiverse, you can create a new world with /mv create <world name>.

Thank you for input. Webs.com would be good for a family website, but if I wanted a forum on it, I would need a database so Webs.com would be out. So I could get a shared hosting plan with at least 1-2GB, put multiverse on it and then I could use that shared hosting for my family forum also.

A good choice for a free forum & site would be enjin.com
Some hosting providers may also offer free web hosting and a free subdomain if you order a server.
