# How To Make a 26.2 Minecraft Server

Do you want Sulphur Cubes on your Minecraft server? What about 1.8 style PvP? Or, maybe you just really want that End Update modpack. So, here's an easy guide on how to set up your own Minecraft server in under 5 minutes. **You can have your own infinitely customizable Minecraft server.**

A simple step-by-step guide:

1. Head to <https://ember.host>.
2. Browse around, and click on the plan you want.
3. Checkout.
4. You're done! After your purchase, you will receive an email, and you'll be able to access <https://panel.ember.host> — from there, you can start your server any time, stop your server any time, add mods to your server, add plugins to your server, run any software and any Minecraft version on your server, have unlimited players play on your server (or, have it whitelist only), and more! The possibilities are endless.

With Ember Host, you can build a massive network like Hypixel, or just make a simple SMP that's just for your friends — all while being cheaper, faster, and more configurable than Realms.

If you have any more questions, you can receive support from either our knowledgable community or dedicated staff at any time of day in our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/68s9zKtSFb). Good luck with your server!
