If you are the host of the Server, you open up Minecraft Server . Wait for it to load then it will say its ready. If you are going to someone else's server, and it has no bars, then there server is not active. (Which means they dont have Minecraft Server up).
Well there are many ways of setting up a minecraft server. Some people use the basic method to just use the Minecraft Server Application found on The website of Minecraft. But for an advanced server where you can use plugins you have to use CraftBukkit. To find it go on Bukkit.Org. For the IP for others to connect is a bit complicated. The easiest way which even i use is to download Hamachi. When you install it. Hamachi will give u a generated ip. Put that Ip in to ur Minecraft Server.properties. The IP there. Then you and your server friends have to use that IP to connect. And Hamachi has to be on for it to connect.
Use the hamachi server.
Yes, buying the game is not needed to make a server. However, you must know how to port forward and your router as well as your information to your router (username and password). If you are interested in setting up your own server, feel free to message me and I'll instruct you through it, as I've set up many servers. I've provided links to a port forwarding site as well as the download link for the up-to-date Minecraft server. -Mr. Andy
