I found this Minecraft hosting called Pixel Forge and it is all about simple servers that just run well. They use fast NVMe storage and modern CPUs and they tune everything for Minecraft and especially Paper. The plans are based on real performance not fake huge specs.
The Nano tier is super tiny and super cheap. It is for one or two players and just 1GB of RAM so it is only for small test worlds or simple survival. It is not meant for plugins or mods or big redstone.
The Budget tier is made for small friend groups. It has 1 vCore and 2GB of RAM so it can run a vanilla or Paper server with a few players without problems. It is not really for big modpacks or public networks.
The Medium tier gives 4GB of RAM and is good for growing communities. It can handle plugins and datapacks and longer play sessions and still stay stable.
The High tier is for more active servers. It has 2 vCores and 8GB of RAM so it can handle more players and more plugins and bigger farms with less TPS drops.
There is also an Ultra tier with 4 vCores and 16GB of RAM for even more demanding setups.
Overall Pixel Forge feels like it is built for people who want their Minecraft server to run smooth without paying for random useless specs.

The server is focused on protecting players and their builds. You start with 2,000 claim blocks and you earn more while you play. Only you and people you trust can build or break inside your claim. Your pets are protected too. If something goes wrong there is an admin team that checks things and helps fix problems.
There are also some nice quality of life features. There is a banking system that gives interest every hour you play. You can save up money and then spend it at the market near the survival spawn. The market has merchants with things like fish potions wood and other useful items.
The world is not just one boring map. There is the normal survival world and it is linked to an amplified world with the new caves and cliffs.

This is a small survival server that feels like a real group of friends instead of a giant random lobby. There are usually around ten people and everyone kind of knows each other so you do not feel like just a number.
The whole server is about community. At spawn there is a chest area where you can take what you need and leave extra stuff so new players can get started easier. People like to hang out build and talk.
The staff run weekly events that sound pretty fun like elytra races and a custom Honey Heist where everyone gets in voice chat and plays together. It feels more like a little event night than some grindy competition.
They also added some custom coded features. Instead of normal crates they have key forging so you combine keys to try to upgrade them. There is a player based economy where you can sell your farm items and run a shop.
There is no pay to win. You can get everything just by playing even ranks and keys so it feels fair and not like you have to spend money to keep up.
The server supports crossplay so Java and Bedrock players on different devices can all join and play together. It is good if your friends are on console or mobile but you are on PC.

The server uses Towny so towns and nations are a big part of the gameplay. Anyone can start a nation because the server gives you starter money. You do not need to grind first or meet some player requirement just to get started.
The first season launched in September and the community from that season was strong. Now the second season is out and a lot of new players are joining in and building fresh nations.
There are lots of wars and conflicts between nations if you like pvp and strategy. But if you do not enjoy fighting you can still live a peaceful life and try to avoid the battles and just focus on building.
You mainly make money with jobs farming and fishing and the server is adding more ways to earn money soon. Overall it feels like a nation based survival world where both war players and peaceful players can have fun.

I found this modded server called Iperios and it is all about making nations. You can start your own nation and choose how it is run. You make your own government and your own laws and your own ranks. If that sounds like too much work you can just join someone else and help their nation grow.
The server runs the Allthemods10 modpack on version 5.3.1 so you need that to play. You have to join the server discord first and ask to get whitelisted. Then you read the new player info to get the IP and some basic tips.
When you first join a staff member helps you. They guide you so you know what to do and they give you a beginner kit. After that you are free to start building and join or create a nation.
The rules are not fully listed but it feels organized and pretty friendly because you talk to staff first and you have to get whitelisted. It seems like a good place if you like modded Minecraft with more politics and nations instead of just solo survival.
