Server shuts down if no one is on it

[m8Mud]

This is probably common, but is there a way to stop the server from shutting down when no one is on? I am the only one who can start it and everyone else has to wait for me to start the server to play on it. So, is there a way to keep it running?

No there's no way to keep it running 24/7 besides buying the biggest plan. Don't worry tho your friends can join the lobby server and just type "/join yourservername" at any time. If it's online they will get connected immediately if not it should start in a couple minutes and they get connected to it once it's fully loaded. If they somehow don't get connected to it just tell them to reuse /join after like two minutes. Sometimes if the server takes longer to load than usual Minehuts system won't auto connect them anymore.

So basically, you said you are the only one that can start the server up which is completely false because anyone can start the server up via the Minehut Lobby by executing /join <server name>. Here is an example, if I do /join test123 in the Minehut Lobby and the server is offline, it will start up the server and warp me into it. 

                 

You can join the Minehut Lobby using the IP minehut.com. 

Since now you know that anyone can start up the server, you don't have to worry about your friends not playing when you are asleep or doing something.

If your friends don't want to start the server up by themselves then you can also AFK in the server to keep it online.

Hope this helped you!
