Where can i find minecraft servers? How do i make my own?

I've only been on one minecraft server before, my mates and its a creative mode game. He said that it costs to keep running and i have to pay if i want admin. But i won't because i can't stand creative mode it takes the fun out of everything you can do on there. My 2 questions are: do servers cost and if not how do i make one, and does anyone know any good survival servers i can join and hopefully have fun in? I'm a zombie survival building fortresses type of guy.

Minecraft server won't work all the sudden?

Alright so i've had a minecraft server forever and all my friends were able to connect to it via logmein hamachi (port forwarding has never worked for me). All the sudden now when any of my friends try to connect it says "can't reach server". I have unblocked the server on my firewall, but still i'm the only one that can connect anymore, btw i'm using the jar file of the minecraft server.

How to advertise my new Minecraft sever?

I just made a Minecraft sever. I made the spawn point and everything and I have an IP address.

I tried Planet Minecraft, but it said that it's not running (which it IS running and I put in the correct information!) I posted it on the forums and it's going to be checked by a moderator before being posted live. I posted it on another server site but it's not so popular. My Twitter isn't so popular, but I posted about it on there, including the IP address.

So the question is, how else can I get my server known?
