Good tutorial, will definitely be useful for some members out there!

One thing I noticed that you are downloading a 1.7.4 Minecraft server which is a pretty outdated version and is barely used anymore, I would suggest going for atleast 1.8.8 since 1.10 is the latest version now..

You can use Bitvise SSH Client instead of PuTTY. Console + SFTP in one program, easier to control your server

Yes, BitVise is Awesome. More Features & Secured too.

just reminded, now before starting the server, we have to accept the Eula by editing eula.txt. And Change the value from false to true

You don't need root to make a minecraft server if Java is installed already. It would need root if you specify ports <=1024 afaik.

Minecraft is banned on some vps though. You got to be careful and read the terms first.
