I found a Minecraft hosting service called Stellara Servers. It is made for people who want their server to run smooth with mods and plugins and custom jars.
They focus on reliable hardware so the server has low lag and steady TPS. Setup is instant so you can start fast. They also say the control panel is simple and support answers when you need help.
They are running a first month discount and they even say you can ask them what plan makes sense for about 10 to 20 players.

DogeM Semi Anarchy Vanilla Takeover
I found DogeM and it is a semi anarchy vanilla server that feels fresh and active. It runs 24/7 so you can hop on whenever.
People are always trying to team up or go solo. You can fight raid loot build and try to take over areas.
The next reset is planned for late May so it still feels worth joining now and getting set up with the community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCaliCraft Democracy Survival With Cobblemon
CaliCraft is a player run server based out of California where the whole point is that players can shape what happens. Every two weeks everyone elects an Emperor and that person can actually change a lot. They can add or remove plugins across gamemodes and make laws and even imprison people. If you get marked as a fugitive you can end up spawning in prison when you die or get dragged back in handcuffs if someone catches you.
The server has a lobby so you can jump into different gamemodes fast. There is Modded Survival with custom enchantments and skills and jobs and an auction house economy. It also has custom dungeons and vote crates with strong gear and it is a claim world with a kingdom run by the Emperor.
There is also Vanilla Survival with quests and chest sorting and daily rewards. There is Skyblock with classic island play plus addons. There is a Cobblemon mode where you catch train and battle Pokemon inside Minecraft and it runs on a separate Fabric server so you need the Cobblemon modpack installed.
They also use a custom resource pack with unique mobs and animals and elites plus dungeon bosses with special drops. Versions supported are 1.17.1 to 1.21.10 and it works on Java and Bedrock.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPeaceful Towny SMP No Grief Ever
GamerHub Towny is a small Towny SMP server that is meant to feel calm and relaxed. People come here to build and claim land then grow towns over time.
The rules are simple and it is no grief and no stealing. There are no custom items and the server says there will never be resets.
Players mostly focus on making money and going for ranks while also competing in a chill way. It has Towny plus Jobs and MCMMO and an in game ranking system.
There are vanilla and Earth maps to play on. You can use player warps and player shops and there is also a sell only server shop. The community is active across AU EU and US time zones so it usually feels like someone is around.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBackToBlocks Vanilla Survival SMP With QoL
BackToBlocks is a mostly vanilla survival SMP that tries to keep the classic Minecraft feel. It adds a few quality of life commands so getting around is not annoying like /sethome and /spawn and /tpa.
The server is about normal survival and building with other players. There is a community made spawn and the server runs events. There is also a decorated End island and a Nether hub plus a player run shopping district.
Warps can be unlocked through voting rewards so active players get more travel options without ruining survival. There is an item economy and a silly /itemflip command where you can gamble items just for fun. Phantoms can be toggled too.
They say no silly plugins and no pay to win. It is not really a PvP server but PvP and raiding are allowed with limits. Griefing is not allowed.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOld Console Vibes on Java 1.13
This is a Minecraft Java server that runs on the 1.13 release and it is made to feel like the old console days. The world is kept small at about 2000 by 2000 so resources feel limited and you have to work for stuff. The world type seems to be islands too so exploring feels different.
It stays up all day and there is a 20 player cap. PVP is allowed and looting is allowed and even encouraged but people are still expected to not be total jerks. Cheating is not wanted and can get you banned.
There is an optional boon system with small buffs to keep things spicy. Hate stuff like racism homophobia and sexual assault is not tolerated. Also lava cast attempts will not work because of command block protection.
Every new player who joins adds 25 blocks to the world border so the map slowly grows with the community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
