I found Stellara Servers and it looks like a solid choice if you want Minecraft server hosting that feels smooth. It is made for good performance and uptime so gameplay stays stable even when you use mods or plugins.
It seems good for a small survival world with friends or for a bigger community server. They talk about fast hardware for low lag and stable TPS plus support for modpacks plugins and custom jars.
Setup sounds quick since they say it is instant. There is also an easy control panel and a responsive support team if you get stuck. They also mention a discount code for your first month if you want to try it for cheaper.

ValueGameNode is a Minecraft hosting service I found that is trying to stop people from overpaying. They start at €2.49 a month and they keep saying there are no hidden fees.
They run on high frequency AMD and Intel CPUs with NVMe SSD storage so the server and modpacks load fast and gameplay stays smooth. Their data center is in Helsinki so it is aimed at low ping for players around Europe.
They use the Pterodactyl control panel so managing stuff feels simple and it has one click installers for plugins mods and server versions. You also get full SFTP and FTP access to your files plus DDoS protection to help keep the server online.
They include a free subdomain and they also offer a two day free trial on their Minecraft plans. Their BudgetCraft plan is listed with 4 GB RAM and 20 GB NVMe storage for a small vanilla server or smaller modpacks.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
