I found a Minecraft server host that lets you run a full server for 24 hours for free. It is made for testing so you can see how it feels before you pay anything.
You can use it for SMP stuff or PvP stuff or modded gameplay. You can add plugins and run events and invite your friends to see how it performs.
It says no credit card is needed and there is no commitment. The panel has a terminal a version changer a server splitter with options a datapack installer and a one click plugin installer.
