I found a vanilla anarchy server that has been running for almost a year. It feels like normal survival but with the wild player driven vibe where anything can happen.
It supports both Java and Bedrock so a lot of people can get in including console players. Java works from 1.13 up to 1.21.x and they recommend 1.21.11.
The big thing is it is no hacks allowed. That means no hacked clients no cheats and no xray even with resource packs. They also do not allow exploiting server vulnerabilities crashing the server trying to lag it out or using macros and automation tools. If you spam chat too much you can get auto kicked.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPay Only When Your Server Runs
I found this Minecraft hosting thing called MaximusHost and it has a pay for what you use setup. You buy credits and it charges you based on the server resources.
It is super cheap when the server is off and most of the cost is when it is running. They even say a small or moderate server that only runs on weekends can be around 2 to 5 dollars a month.
You can set schedules to start and stop the server by itself so weekend only servers are easy. It also gives you full console access and full access to your server files. You can share access with friends too.
It supports Minecraft Java and Bedrock and it can use Geyser so people can crossplay. Right now it is on one dedicated US East server but they said it can scale up as more people use it.
New users get 1000 free credits to try it. There is also a referral thing where the new person gets 1000 credits and the person who referred them gets 2000 credits.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Squad PvP With Weekly Events

AvalonEarth is a geopol EarthSMP server where players make towns and nations and deal with politics and conflict. It is crossplay so you can join on Java or Bedrock.
The world uses a 1 to 500 Earth style map so there is tons of space to claim land and build your own nation. The server runs Towny so towns and nations are a big part of how you play.
New players get starter money so anyone can make a nation right away without needing requirements first. The server had a first season that started in September and now season two is live with lots of new players joining.
If you like wars there are plenty of fights and conflict going on. If you do not like that you can play peaceful and try to avoid the wars. Money mainly comes from jobs plus farming and fishing and they said more ways are coming later.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh LifeSteal SMP Fair PvP Start
I found a brand new LifeSteal SMP that just opened and it already had around 10 active players at the start. It is a paid host and it is made for people who want real PvP and want to test their skills.
The server has a 20 heart limit and a 10k world border. There is also a 3 mace limit. Bedrock players are welcome too and it runs on version 1.21.11.
It is trying to stay fair because there are no admins and even the owner does not have OP. There is spawn protection and rules against killing naked players or spawn killing.
It also has regular survival plugins like villager in a bucket and string dupers so it feels like the usual grind but with higher stakes.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWaychest Journeys Hidden Neighbors PvE
Waychest is a custom PvE survival server that feels like you got your own private world at first. You and your friends start in something called a Journey with a random spawn point. It is all inside one shared survival world though so other people are out there too.
As you explore you start finding special Waychests and other custom stuff that points you toward places players have been before. The idea is you can follow these clues and end up crossing paths with other Journeys. Later you can even craft and place your own Waychests to lead the next group to your builds.
There is also a Waychest Flight thing where you craft an Elytra and then do an in world flying minigame through rings that ends at a Waychest made by a stranger. Fast travel exists too but it is discovery based so you have to find warp points to unlock them.
It runs on Minecraft Java 1.21.11 and works with a vanilla client. The vibe is semi vanilla SMP but with a lot of custom systems built just for this server.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFREE Minecraft Hosting With Paid Upgrades
