SwiftServers is a Minecraft hosting platform that is actually free and it looks really clean. It is made for people who want good performance without paying and without waiting in long queues.
You can start a normal vanilla survival world with your friends or run a Paper or Spigot server. The setup is super fast and they say you can get your server running in under a minute. The control panel is custom made so it is not just some reskinned panel and it feels modern and easy to use.
The hosting uses AMD EPYC Rome processors and NVMe SSD storage so it is meant to be fast. Each server comes with 1.5 GB of RAM and 10 GB of storage plus a 1 Gbit uplink. They do not limit player slots so you can invite as many people as your server can handle.
They also focus on safety. There is enterprise level DDoS protection and a built in backup system so you can create and restore backups quickly. There are no hidden fees and no credit card needed so you can just jump in and start playing.
