They focus on reliable hardware so the server has low lag and steady TPS. Setup is instant so you can start fast. They also say the control panel is simple and support answers when you need help.
They are running a first month discount and they even say you can ask them what plan makes sense for about 10 to 20 players.

I found a survival multiplayer server that feels different from the huge SMPs. It is not packed with tons of players and it does not feel like the economy is ruined.

It feels underrated and it stays online a lot. The owner might add voice chat if players want it.
