SwiftServers is a Minecraft hosting platform that is actually free and still feels professional. I checked it out and you can spin up a server really fast and it does not feel laggy or clunky.
They use a custom control panel that they built from scratch. It looks modern and is easy to use so you do not need to be a tech pro to run a server. You can make a normal vanilla SMP or go straight into heavy modpacks.
There is one click support for big modpacks like Better MC RLCraft and All The Mods plus other Modrinth packs. So if you like modded survival this is super helpful.
The hardware is solid. Each server gets 1 GB dedicated RAM an AMD EPYC Rome processor 10 GB NVMe SSD storage and a 1 Gbit per second network. They also do not limit player slots so you can invite as many friends as you want.
They have enterprise level DDoS protection and a built in backup system so you can create and restore backups quickly. This makes the servers feel a lot safer.
The best part is it is really free. You do not need a credit card and there are no hidden fees. You just sign up and your server can be ready 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.

Pixel Forge Budget-Friendly Minecraft Hosting

I found this Minecraft hosting called Pixel Forge and it is all about simple servers that just run well. They use fast NVMe storage and modern CPUs and they tune everything for Minecraft and especially Paper. The plans are based on real performance not fake huge specs.
The Nano tier is super tiny and super cheap. It is for one or two players and just 1GB of RAM so it is only for small test worlds or simple survival. It is not meant for plugins or mods or big redstone.
The Budget tier is made for small friend groups. It has 1 vCore and 2GB of RAM so it can run a vanilla or Paper server with a few players without problems. It is not really for big modpacks or public networks.
The Medium tier gives 4GB of RAM and is good for growing communities. It can handle plugins and datapacks and longer play sessions and still stay stable.
The High tier is for more active servers. It has 2 vCores and 8GB of RAM so it can handle more players and more plugins and bigger farms with less TPS drops.
There is also an Ultra tier with 4 vCores and 16GB of RAM for even more demanding setups.
Overall Pixel Forge feels like it is built for people who want their Minecraft server to run smooth without paying for random useless specs.

Play LAN Minecraft Anywhere Online

This is a way to play Minecraft that feels like LAN but it actually works over the internet.
From what I see you just host your world like a normal LAN world or a local server. Then your friends join the same room in the program and the game shows your world like it is on their LAN too.
It is nice because you do not need port forwarding or a public IP. It also works even if you are stuck behind weird internet stuff like CGNAT or a dorm network. You just install it click a few things and start playing together.
If your router and ports are already set up then you probably do not need this. But if you keep fighting your network and nothing works this looks like an easy way to play Minecraft with your friends without all the networking pain.

This is not really a normal Minecraft server. It is a service that gives you one reverse tunnel for free while it is in beta. That means you can use it to connect to stuff like your own Minecraft server without paying.
Right now all the features are free. You get one tunnel that you can just use and test. If you ever need more traffic you can even ask and they will give you extra.
It is mainly for promotion and testing but it still feels nice because you do not have to spend money. You just try it and see if it helps you and your friends play.
