I've bought a VPS solely to run a MC Bukkit Server for myself and my little brother.
I'm having a bit of trouble getting this thing to work properly though (steps I go through):
cd
cd Minecraft
screen
java -Xmx1359M -Xms1359M -jar bukkit.jar -o nogui
[loads the server]
control + a + d
[exits the screen session]

Now, whenever I close my laptop and then open it back up again, the server says "Can't reach server"
I want this server to be up 24/7, but I can't get it to work properly because of when I close my laptop screen, it apparently kills the process Putty or whatever and that apparently kills the saved screen session
I want my server to be up 24/7 = whenever I close the laptop screen, exit putty, etc, it will still be up afterwards

PS: I can get the server back up by opening PuTTy, logging in, and then doing "screen -r"
But as I said, I want the server up 24/7 meaning I don't want to have to reset it every time that I close the screen >:<

Do a barrel roll!
I have no clue. I would suggest just getting a server from a hosting company like Fluctis Hosting or Cubed Hosting.
