Hosting a Minecraft server means running Minecraft server software on a computer that stays online while people play and accepts connections from their game clients. To get started, install compatible Java, download the server JAR, run it once, accept the EULA if you agree, configure the world, and allow players through the network firewall.

A VPS can complement Deepnote by hosting a database, API, model endpoint, scheduler or other long-running service. It does not automatically add its CPU and RAM to a Deepnote notebook: notebook code still runs on Deepnote unless you explicitly send work to the remote server.
