ValueGameNode is a Minecraft hosting service I found that is trying to stop people from overpaying. They start at €2.49 a month and they keep saying there are no hidden fees.
They run on high frequency AMD and Intel CPUs with NVMe SSD storage so the server and modpacks load fast and gameplay stays smooth. Their data center is in Helsinki so it is aimed at low ping for players around Europe.
They use the Pterodactyl control panel so managing stuff feels simple and it has one click installers for plugins mods and server versions. You also get full SFTP and FTP access to your files plus DDoS protection to help keep the server online.
They include a free subdomain and they also offer a two day free trial on their Minecraft plans. Their BudgetCraft plan is listed with 4 GB RAM and 20 GB NVMe storage for a small vanilla server or smaller modpacks.
