I found a server listing that is really more about a game server hosting company run by one person. They took feedback and dropped prices on some of the bigger plans.
They say every plan still has DDoS protection NVMe storage daily backups and full panel access. They also say there are no contracts and you can cancel anytime.
They seem pretty open to feedback and they want people to tell them if the pricing still feels off.
