Prosperia is a semi vanilla survival server that feels really polished and calm. The whole idea is to make the world feel alive but still like normal Minecraft so it does not turn into some crazy modpack.
There is custom terrain and structures so exploring actually feels new and interesting. You can claim land to keep your builds safe and the main world never resets so your base is meant to be permanent. Only the resource world resets so you can always go there to gather stuff.
The gameplay is focused on balance and progression. There are advanced enchantments and you can disenchant gear. There is MCMMO for skill leveling and a jobs system so you can make steady money. There is also an auction house and a player driven economy so trading with other players really matters.
You can use safari nets to move mobs around and there are virtual spawners plus auto crop planters and upgradable hoppers. Combat uses 1.8 style pvp so it feels fast and old school. There is also PyroFishingPro which makes fishing way more interesting.
The community seems tight knit and the server is built by people who clearly put a lot of time into every detail. They care about player feedback and long term stability so it feels like a place where you can actually settle down and build a story with other players.

Community-Driven LoreCooperative group playDeity statue buildsFresh server energyMythology inspired theme
Godbreaker Otherworld is a modded SMP server for 1.21.1 that is built around guilds and the community making the meaning of each guild name. It feels inspired by magic school and adventure guild stories. The server is still a work in progress so things can change over time.
There are two main paths you can pick. Houses are for players who want a more normal gameplay loop. Cults are for players who want a harder start by binding to a ring of seven curses but they can become stronger later.
Guilds are expected to create their own guild town. Each guild needs a leader and can have a co leader. Towns should match the vibe of what the guild stands for and they need player gyms with admin discussion a main unique attraction and statues of the deities.
There are two modpack options. One is for higher end PCs and a lite version is for lower end PCs.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHigh Performance Hosting For Modded Servers

I found a Minecraft hosting option called Stellara Servers and it is made for people who want their server to run smooth. It seems like a good pick if you are starting fresh or switching hosts.
They talk a lot about fast hardware so you get low lag and stable TPS even when you use mods and plugins. They also say it works with modpacks and custom jars so it sounds flexible.
Setup is instant so you can get going fast. The control panel is supposed to be simple and they say support is helpful and responds quick.
There is also a first month discount deal listed with a code. If you are trying to plan for like 10 to 20 players it sounds like they are open to questions about what to choose.

The Creative server is open world with a mix of natural terrain and world painted areas. You can protect your builds and WorldEdit is free to use. Creative also does community events like Spleef and Speed Build on alternating Saturdays.
Both servers are listed as version 1.21.10.
