How to set up a Minecraft server?

[panduh]

Does anyone know how to create servers like Truva Network? I want to try setting up a PvP server for myself, where I would like to have a Survival mode. However, I don't know how to do it as I have no knowledge of coding or anything. Aternos makes it easy to set up a server, but I don't want to use it because it's very laggy. Can anyone help me if they know how to set up a server?
