I don't know if they are or not. I am just a regular person with a home computer. I know how to set up a run a basic localhost server, but I don't really know about the other stuff you're talking about.

You can follow any Minecraft server guide to make your web server accessible to other users; enter 80 where the guides enter 25565 and it should work relatively flawlessly.

If you're thinking of diving deeper into development, I'd recommend you take the time to learn about computer networking. It's not a necessity if your end goal is to stuff HTML/CSS/JS files into a server somewhere, but it'd make your life a lot easier down the line.

I asked for something simple, this is the opposite of that:

I meant guides like these:

- https://www.wikihow.com/Portforward-Minecraft

- https://www.technewstoday.com/port-forward-minecraft/

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X75GbRaGzu8

Most of the guide you linked is related to setting up Java and configuring Minecraft itself, you only need the port forwarding bit.
