If you're looking for a reliable and quick solution then I would advise you to purchase a minecraft hosting solution, that will resolve all your needs and requirement. You can go to http://hostthegame.com and pick up a plan base on your needs and get started.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY! All you need to so is download a minecraft server at minecraft.net and then port forward. Just look it up on YouTube.
