I've been a player since Halloween
I've been doing server things like this since Unreal Tournament III

FAILURE TO READ THESE PARAGRAPH'S WILL RESULT IN ME, AND NOBODY ELSE HELPING YOU.
I will not help you if you cannot speak english. I'm patient- To a point... Please don't use terms like "it isnt work noaw cuz u speled it wrong" or "i spel lik a german hors cuz u think i am anoying" Grammar is key when communicating, and so is spelling.

Be courteous, I'm not going to help you if you act like the grinch to me or other players.

Thanks! And don't forget to leave a donation if I helped!

Setting up a CraftBukkit server
Paragraph:
Setting this up is really simple! Just be sure to have the correct version of Java
Download the latest CraftBukkit Auto Installer (By ImminentFate) then run the installer.
Double click the Launch Craftbukkit shortcut that it created on your desktop, and your ready to go! (Be sure to check out my Port Forwarding tutorial if you want other players to connect to your server)

List:

1. Be sure to have Java 6 or higher (You can check that here)
2. Download the latest CraftBukkit Auto Installer (By ImminentFate)
3. Run the installer
4. Click the 'Launch Craftbukkit' shortcut that it made on your desktop
5. Forward your the port 25565 (Some users may find this difficult)

Installing/Configuring a certain plugin
Requires that you have already installed craftbukkit!
Paragraph:
After you have installed your first plugin, I'm sure you'll find it really simple. There are plenty of guides to set up certain plugins, because none of them are the same, most of them have configs. (Most commonly YAML which is really space sensitive) You can find a complete list of plugins here
When you find a plugin that you want, click on it and it will bring you to a forum post with plenty of information on that plugin. Read up on it, if your having troubles chances are your problem will already be resolved. Then find where you can download the plugin (Be sure that it is up to date with your bukkit version!) Insert the nameofpluginhere.jar and any other folders into the "Plugins" folder in located where you installed craftbukkit. Then configure the plugin, how to configure the certain plugin is usually on the page that you downloaded it from.

List:

1. Find a plugin in the official bukkit plugin list
2. Review the forum thread
3. Download the .jar (Or whatever the creator has specified for the file)
4. Place it in your Plugins folder
5. Configure it, there should be instructions for configuring the plugin on the thread that you downloaded the plugin from

Which do I choose Craftbukkit or bukkit if i'm going to create a plugin, I know bukkit is the API and craftbukkit is the server and the API but someone said it was implemented and that bukkit has more features I don't know if im reading this right but which one do I choose?

Thank you

Just thought that was kinda odd, You made 500k from selling a domain, but you are having money trubles?

Sounds like you got the technical figured out now all you need is someone to help you with your money
