SwiftServers is a free Minecraft hosting platform that actually feels professional and fast. It focuses on doing free hosting in a way that does not feel like a laggy mess.
The panel is fully custom and it was made just for this hosting so it is lightweight and easy to understand. It looks modern and simple so you do not have to fight menus just to start playing.
You can run Vanilla servers or use Paper or Spigot if you want more performance. It is made for stuff like a small vanilla SMP with friends or a more custom setup using Paper.
The hosting uses AMD EPYC Rome processors with 1.5 GB of dedicated RAM and 10 GB NVMe SSD storage plus a 1 Gbit network. There is also enterprise grade DDoS protection and a backup system so you can create and restore backups fast.
They do not limit player slots so your community size is not capped. It is really free and you do not need a credit card or anything like that. You just set it up and start your server in under a minute.

I found this Minecraft hosting called ValueGameNode and it is made for people who are tired of paying too much for servers.
They run everything on high frequency AMD CPUs and super fast NVMe SSDs so worlds and modpacks load really fast and the gameplay is smooth with no lag.
Their servers are in a data center in Helsinki so if you are in Europe you get really low ping which is awesome for playing with friends.
You manage your server with a Pterodactyl control panel and it has one click installers for plugins mods and different server versions so setting things up is simple.
You get full SFTP and FTP access to your files and they also have DDoS protection so your server stays online and safe.
They even have a 2 day free trial on their Minecraft and webhosting plans so you can test the performance before paying.
Their cheapest plan is called BudgetCraft and it starts at 2.49 euro a month with no hidden fees which makes it good for players who want strong performance but do not want to spend a lot.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
