@Andreas is there any way we could start up our server automatically if a player joins e.g your system detects that a player is trying to join a server and it starts the server up and if there isn't a feature like that this could be a suggestion @Andreas

Quote from Roman

We run a colocation in a datacenter in frankfurt, germany with over 100 servers.
Currently we have servers with more than 3 TB of RAM just for running minecraft servers.
And this is constantly growing.

We already do as much as possible.
24/7 servers are just not doable for free. Running a server with 0 players is wasting resources and from our perspective absolutely unefficient.

well is there a possible way of starting the server automatically when someone wants to join so people can connect to your server without contacting you to start the server

Just some insight, from what I understand already from my own end. Aternos' resources are limited, and it would most likely take up too much space to do that, unless they had a larger database... Even at that, they may have to end up charging people for that in the future if they had went that route, which would completely defeat the purpose of the system being free for consumers. Hopefully I'm correct in what i'm saying, or at least mostly correct, after all it is the most logical thing to get from this situation.

what are they using the money they using the money that they get from advertisements from, well apart from power consumption costs and costs of protection against viruses can't they use the leftover money to invest in better resources, do they even have an actual server in their office or do they just pay a hosting company to run a virtual private server @Andreas and i want all aternos staff to respond to this with their thoughts what's the point of aternos doing this free minecraft server project if they don't invest in resources to making their server capable of running 24/7 servers

okay i will use bukkit for now see and see if it fixes it, i will put the results of using bukkit here if that does not fix it and can you tell me when you have fixed the glowstone problem on your end so i can go back to using glowstone to fix the problem hat stops my server from starting

EDIT1: for some reason when i use bukkit the server runs normaly

EDIT2: now i am having problems where the sever says connection refused, no further information but it does not happen staight away it happens sometime after the server is online

i cannot start my server it stays in starting for a long time then the server automaticly stops and this is after the waiting queue

i am having the same problem and i am not in the queue and after a while the server automaticly stops
