I found this hosting setup that was made because most Minecraft servers felt super overpriced and really laggy. The person running it wanted something that was cheaper and still fast.
They offer an 8GB server with NVMe storage so it should load pretty quick. It also has backups and a bunch of extra ports for whatever you want to run. The CPU is a Ryzen 9 5950X with 4 vCores so it sounds like it can handle a lot of players.
It is meant to be the cheapest way to host your own Minecraft server while still getting full support. If you just want a place to run your own world without paying a ton this looks like the kind of host that was built for that.

NerdNu Vanilla PvE and Creative Community

I found NerdNu and it feels like a medium sized server that really cares about community and mostly vanilla gameplay. It is for players who miss that old Minecraft feeling where people actually know each other.
The PvE server is updated to 1.21.10 and it is survival building without PvP so you only worry about mobs. People work together on towns and big city builds and the PvE map reset on September 19th. They also do games nights with different player hosts like spleef thimble and ice boat races on Fridays at 7:30pm and Saturdays at 1pm US Eastern time.
There is also a Creative server on 1.21.10 with open world building and a mix of natural terrain and world painted areas. You can protect your builds and WorldEdit is free to use. Creative has community events too like spleef and speed build on alternating Saturdays and their current map revision started on June 22 2024.
Their snapshot server is currently closed because of recent updates and they will announce when it comes back.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSmall Semi Vanilla SMP Starting Soon

I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now.
They plan to officially start in about a week so it feels like a good time to get in early.
It is survival multiplayer with a mostly vanilla style and it sounds like they are still getting things ready.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEU Lifesteal Survival With Combat Lock

MinecraftOffline is an EU based survival server that tries to feel different with custom plugins.
The big thing is lifesteal. You can gain hearts by killing other players and you lose hearts when you die. If you run out of hearts you get banned. New players get a 1 hour grace period so they will not lose hearts right away.
It also has stuff to make playing easier like setting a home and teleport requests to other players. You can vote to skip the night with a simple command.
PvP has rules built into the server since commands are blocked during fights and combat logging gets punished. If someone logs out in combat they get replaced by a killable NPC that drops their items.
There is a vote token shop for custom name colours and custom MOTDs. There are also stats for playtime kills and deaths with rewards at milestones. The server has anti extreme speed cheat protection and it also blocks serious chat spam.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Crossplay Economy SMP From Day One

CryoMC is a new survival SMP that is built around a chill community and an economy. It is meant to feel like Minecraft while still having helpful plugins.
The server is no grief so people can build without getting wrecked. It also has things like keep inventory, grief prevention, player warps, and chest shops. There are more plugins too but it still stays close to the normal survival feel.
It supports both Java and Bedrock and it also allows all versions. You can join early and help shape the world from the start.

It also supports Bedrock players which makes it easier to bring friends on different devices.
