Prosperia is a cozy SMP that feels really friendly and calm. It is a survival server with a focus on a player economy so trading and shops are a big part of how people play. The community is described as welcoming and new players are supposed to feel right at home.
The world has custom terrain and structures so exploring does not feel like a normal vanilla world. There are land claims so you can protect your builds. The server also uses advanced enchantments and lets you disenchant too which makes gear a bit more interesting.
There are extra progression systems like MCMMO and jobs so you can level up and earn money while you play. You can buy and sell items with an auction house and there are virtual spawners upgradable hoppers and auto crop planters to help with farms. The combat uses 1.8 style pvp for people who like that older feel.
The staff say they are always open to ideas and feedback and they want the server to feel cozy and community based. If you like building farming exploring and messing with special features this server looks like a good place to try.

FREE 24 7 Minecraft Server Hosting
I found a free Minecraft hosting service that is meant for small servers and friend groups.
The server specs are 3GB RAM with 1GB swap and 6GB storage and 1 vCore CPU. They say it runs 24 7 so you can keep it up all the time.
It is not top tier but it sounds good enough for playing with friends and testing plugins and just messing around without paying upfront. Right now they are only focused on free Minecraft hosting.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJOIN RELHEIM GET HOOKED UP FAST

I found a modded server called Iperios that runs All the Mods 10 version 5.4. The main idea is nations. You can make your own nation and pick your own government style.
Nations can have laws and ranks. If you do not want to build one from scratch you can join a nation that already exists.
To get in you need to join their Discord and ask for a whitelist. After you join a staffer can guide you and give you a beginner kit so you can start playing.WebsiteDiscordGG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNations RP With PVP And Power
This is a nations roleplay server with pvp where you can pick your own path. You can be a traveling merchant a king or a sword for hire and just do your thing.
It is semi vanilla so it still feels like Minecraft but you get more tools and materials to grind for. That can give you an advantage when fights break out.
