I found a new game server hosting platform that is doing a free beta test right now. The beta is planned to be free for about three months.
They want people to spin up servers and test performance then share honest feedback. You can pick which node your server runs on.
The whole point is performance focused hosting with lots of headroom. They say they do not want to cram a bunch of servers onto one machine.
This might stay private and may never fully open to the public. The panel they use is pterodactyl and they are mainly testing systems networks and power costs.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPForsaken Realm Mod Test Server
This is a Java modded server for players 16 and up. It is built around a custom mod called Descent into the Realm Forsaken that the owner is making for 1.21.8.
Right now the server is mainly for testing before the next big update. People play to try new stuff and help spot issues while things get added.
If you want a fun place where changes happen during the season and everyone is cool with testing then this one fits.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
