So, when looking around, I haven't seen any good Minecraft server tutorials.
So I decided to make my own. Hope this helps.

First things first, This is how to make a vanilla server (No plugins)
All links for this project will be at the very end (:
This is for windows only, I know it works on Windows 7 + 8


    1. Download the latest version of "minecraft_server.exe"
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    2. Create a folder, Name it whatever you want, and Put the "minecraft_server.exe" inside of it. Don't forget to rename it! (Take out the numbers)
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    3. Double click the "minecraft_server.exe" and it should create some files for you.

    4. Double click "eula.txt" Change "eula=false" and make it say "eula=true"
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    5. Double click the server again, and it should stay open now, after a few seconds in the box type "stop"
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    6. Right Click "server.properties" and click "open with" and find notepad.
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    7. Where it says "Online-mods=true" change it to "Online-mode=false"
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    8. Now where it says, "server-ip=" we need to put your IPV4 Address in there.
    To find it, Go to "Run" (For windows 8, its Windows Button + R)
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
    "Run"
    Now, type "CMD" in run.
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
    "CMD typed inside of Run"
    Now, hit enter. A window like this should pop up.
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

    Type in "IPCONFIG" (You should get this a bunch of numbers, but find this)
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    9. YOUR IPV4 SHOULD BE DIFFERENT!, FIND YOURS NOT MINE, and paste it inside of your "server.properties"
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    10. Save your server.properties,(Which is File<Save)

    11. In the server folder you made, make a new text document like notepad.
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    12. Open it up and paste this in
    @ECHO OFF
    "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.exe
    PAUSE

    There are a TON of different things that it could be, so if this doesn't work there are others down below vvvv
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    13. Click File<Save as and save it as "run.bat"
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    14. Now we need to portforward. (Don't worry, getting into your router isn't needed)
    We need to go into out internet browser, and search google for "utorrent"
    One, you get to their site download it. You can chose to buy it, but it isn't needed. Just click "Free Download"
    [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


    15. Once you've downloaded it, install it! Make sure you watch out for sneaky offers and to decline them all. Don't rush through the installation. Once it is done installing on your Keyboard hit "Control + P" To open Preferences, go to "connection" and type 25565 where I have it.

    16. You are basically done!~ You can now connect to your server, but you have to find your IP address. Which you can find at [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
