What's the best OS to host a server on for a total noob?

• Geyser

  223 3,242 9.6 Java

  A bridge/proxy allowing you to connect to Minecraft: Java Edition servers with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

  

  I don't se the point of a GUI if you only want to run Minecraft servers. I strongly recommend Linux, because 1: Windows costs a crap ton of money 2: Even Microsoft uses Linux on their servers. Also, you don't need two separate servers for Java and Bedrock, you can use Geyser on Java.

• Caddy

  159 40,722 9.4 Go

  Fast, multi-platform web server with automatic HTTPS

  

  - Pterodactyl is pretty nice, but if you are going to install it, PLEASE purchase a domain, and take the time to learn how to use something like Caddy to automatically grab an HTTPS certificate for you so you can secure the connection to your server. Otherwise, you'll be exposing your Minecraft server files to anyone with a bit of hacking experience, as everything you send to the server will not be encrypted (this is also why you never use FTP).

• Scout APM

  Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.
