Suggest some minecraft servers?

I like minecraft and i have a cracked version (don't have a go or anything i will buy it when i next have the money spare) I use to play on a server called ping craft. I liked it as it was more organised. All the people on thee were building towns instead of having 50 60 massive random houses next to spawn that all look a mess. There were no annoying kids arguing or being annoying stealing your stuff or killing you it was all just better. The server shut down a while a go and i was really disappointed and i was wondering if there are any other servers like this?

I can't connect to ANY Minecraft servers?

For the past few days I have been playing on a server and it's been running fine until this morning, I woke up and couldn't access my laptop, I took it to the store and since it was under warranty they exchanged it since I just got it a few days ago.

I installed Minecraft and updated Java on the new computer, then tried to log on to the server and it came up with the message "java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information!" I thought it may have just been the server was shut down for repair(because it says on their site that they were planning a 2 hour reboot), so I tried a few other servers and got the same results. I honestly don't know what else to do, please help me?

I can't seem to port forward my minecraft server. How do I fix it?

I'm trying to port forward a Minecraft Server on port 25565. I'm hosting on a Windows 8 computer and is connected to Ethernet. My router/modem is a Xfinity/Arris TG862. My computer Ip is 10.0.0.5.
I believe it is port forwarded it but I can only connect to local and when I go on google to check my public Ip, it's crazy numbers and letters. 364g601:2:5g60:664:fefe:1ec6:6v45:8452.

Welcome to EvolutionMC!

We're the new Survival Server looking for people who are interested in joining an amazing Survival server!

The EvolutionMC staff is mature and well educated in Minecraft. We're not run by 6 year old owners who understand nothing. Our server has been in the process of being made during the past 2 months. We promise our server is one YOU are looking for.
Now you may ask yourself. Why is EvolutionMC so different from any other server!
Well here is our answer

Ranks - All ranks that are purchased have been thought clearly through and made sure that what you are paying for is worth what you get.
All rank profit is put into the server. (ex. New Host)
Maybe after months of playing on our server you realize that you have an idea for a rank. Well post the idea on the forums and if your idea is welcome to us. That rank is given to you for free! REMEMBER! Be reasonable.
1st donator - You get the rank above you as a thank you!
2nd donator - You get the rank above you as a thank you!
5th donator - New Server! (ex. Factions Mini-Games, etc)
10th Donator - You get to choose a friend to get the same rank as you currently!

Staff - We take the staff rank seriously and members who would like to be staff are not receiving any other kit. Staff is a serious position and we don't want them to be having an advantage over others.
Here are the open spots for staff!
Admin - This will be chosen by the Owner personally there's no application for this.
Mod - The application is on the forums.
Builder - This position is part of staff. You don't get any other commands except /gm and /fly. Your job is to come up with new spawns and new build ideas for all the different games we will have on the server.
Lastly remember you must be an active player for at least a month to be a staff. If you are inactive once mod for a month without notice. You will be de modded!
