This is a kind of catch-all page. I've gathered a number of random tid-bits from my time hosting a server. Some bits merit there own page, and in the cases where one is written, there will be a link. Some don't need anymore than a list or a few sentences.
Hosting
All I've ever done in regards to hosting is on-prem. There are plenty of suggestions out there if you would rather use a hosted service or self-host using a vps. If you're going the on-prem route, however, I might be able to provide some tips.
Hardware
The main considerations are RAM, CPU and GPU.
CPU
This is honestly the most important variable. You don't need an overpowered CPU, but a high clock speed really will make a difference (GHz is what you're looking for). Minecraft is famously single-threaded, so prioritize single-core performance over more cores.
RAM
You need a decent about of this stuff if you want to run a multiplayer server. I like allocating right around 8gb dedicated to the Minecraft server. It is essential to leave headroom for the operating system.
GPU
I honestly haven't explored this avenue very extensively. It might be possible to offload some stuff, but I'm not sure how much this effects the server-side.
