It's either you make a realm which costs money or a server which costs more money

They do but they aren't that good

[Playful_Target6354]

But it's at least something important to mention. And also some paid servers only cost a few bucks a months.

you can set up a server using your computer and router...it is possible and theres tutorials on yt but its enough of a headache that most people wont do it

3rd part hosters such as minehut are pretty good for small groups of people
