Which Minecraft host?

[Diddums]

I'm looking to start a Minecraft server for a bit.

No idea which host to use, it'll be mainly for myself and a few mates, maybe a few of you guys if you want in. Not sure which or how many mods we'll run, but we loved Tekkit back in the day so probably something a bit technical.

Any suggestions?

if you don't need it going 24/7, then you can host your own, thats what i do with just a few mates, downside is server is only online when i am, upside is its free.

I have no idea how to do this.

I've got a PC running 24/7 already. It's an i3 3220, 4gb, 128gb SSD and a 2tb WD Blue or green or something.

My internet is fairly fast too, just don't know how to do this
