Best form of server marketing?
So I have a server and have been struggling to market it. I don't have much money I can spend on marketing it and I have both a youtube and a tiktok account that I have posted over 30 shorts on. I don't have anyone who can help me or offer advice, so I've pretty much been winging it and have made videos about the various features on my server, but my youtube videos are dead (most views since the first few videos I posted was just over 80 views a couple of days ago) and tiktok the most views I have is around 890 views. I have been looking into ads on server list sites as it seems that is how most server owners acquire players, but I haven't yet found a decent site with a price I can afford as the amount of money I have available is not much.
Not that anyone cares, but this isn't a business I am trying to start for a quick buck. I am disabled so the point of it is to be a necessary income for me and I enjoy managing a server and having players who enjoy playing on my server. I have been doing this for around 2 years now and did make a little bit of money at the start as I took over a name and existing discord from a server I played on years ago that had shut down, but player count died down pretty quickly and I eventually abandoned the server (was economy survival with some qol plugins) and launched a lifesteal server earlier this year with the intention of hopefully marketing it easier.
I still need to make accounts on Instagram, Fb, and X and I am planning on submitting an ad to /r/mcservers hopefully either today or tomorrow, and am planning on posting all my videos to the platforms that allow videos. Tldr; I think server list ads are probably the best way of acquiring players, but I'm not sure as youtube and tiktok will apparently take months if not a year or more to attract new players. I don't know if there are other forms of marketing servers that I am not aware of....
Acceptable MSPT for 10-20-30 players
I'm running Purpur 1.21.8 server with plugins. I set everything up as in the optimization guide on GitHub. And now I'm asking myself: what MSPT (approximately) should be obtained with 10-20-30 players.
Solution:
This is clearly not normal?There are so many factors involved that there really is no such thing as "normal" tbh...
Paid server host
Hey, I’m wanting to host a mini games type server using a paid server host. It’s for me and my friends. I’m thinking it won’t have more than 25 players in total. I don’t think it’d be more than 10 at a time though, but I’d like to plan for more than that just in case. I’d also want it in eastern us. I’d like it to be on paper or one of its forks. I’ve used pufferfish in the past and it was very good. I’d like to use plugins for the games eventually. I’m using datapacks at the moment but...

Looking for host
Not sure where to ask now that marketplace is closed, so sorry if this is the wrong place but:
Im planning on launching my SMP soon that I expect to have 25-40 concurrent players during peak hours. Previously I used Lilypad's 44$ plan, 5 threads, 7950X, 16Gb ram, which did an okay job for the most part but I think I need something a little more powerful, that was also 2 years ago so im not sure if theres new better competitors now....
100 player civilization server
I’m using Bisect server hosting budget plan with 24 gb of ram. I opened the server up and the chunks just loaded horribly when everyone joined. I closed the server down got chunky plugin to generate the chunks. I then ran into lots other problems like hacking/players able to crash the server. If anyone can just break down what plugins I should get and how I should set up this type of server I would appreciate it.
What I’m doing now

How to run a /give command with custom model data?
This question is more complex than at surface value. In past versions of Minecraft this seems straightforward, but now the command is completely different and I don't know if it's a problem on my end or not.
The command wants a float value now. What's the correct way to input this?...

Looking for help with vehicle models
Tried to search existing posts but didn't see anything relating specifically to vehicles at least recently. Just looking for some basic info regarding what you need to do to go from model, to functional working vehicles on a java server. We typically run on later versions of Minecraft (1.21.4 currently) so if there are existing plugins that anyone would reccomend, and if not, I'm interested in some of the better ways to go about things like ships, should we need to get a custom plugin made. Just...
Command Help
Using MC version 1.20.6, Java. Keep in mind, I have found that due to using Essentials, I have to put "minecraft:" into most commands to get them to work (example: must use "/minecraft:tp" and not "/tp").
I am trying to use a command block to give me a clickable sign that runs two commands. I have used the code I know, and I have tried using modified code from YT tutorials...and I cannot get it to work.
The 2 commands I am trying to run when the sign is clicked is 1) kill the minecart the player is inside of....2) tp the player ~ ~0.5 ~ from their current location....
