You don't have to download anything (for almost all severs you don't) and you don't even have to sign up. It just uses your minecraft account like all severs. All you have to do is enter the adress to get on it.

Also if you want a really safe sever to play suvival games (and several other like hide and seek) on, the Hive is great. But unless you're ritch and can buy a premium membership, it's impossible to get in to the same room as them. So it's more for playing without anyone specific.

One more thing I'd like to add :P. If you want I really awesome minecraft youtuber who's videos are safe with no swearing or anything, check out Thinknoodles. He's awesome. I knew him on his Club Penguin insiders (which I'm now a mod on) before he started playing MC and got so much fame.
