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.
