This is a small forge server someone is running on a Raspberry Pi 5 with a big modpack. It is kind of a crazy setup but it actually works.
When there is just one person online the server runs really smooth. The tps stays at 20 and it feels totally playable. The whole thing feels like an experiment to see how far a Pi can go with a lot of mods loaded.
When more players join the tps drops and ping goes up so the owner is trying to figure out how to improve performance. The vibe is like a stubborn tech challenge mixed with modded Minecraft. If you like trying weird setups and do not mind some lag this server is pretty interesting.

SwiftServers is a Minecraft hosting platform that is actually free and still feels professional. I checked it out and you can spin up a server really fast and it does not feel laggy or clunky.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRefinedVanilla True Anarchy Survival

This server is called RefinedVanilla and it is a true vanilla anarchy world. There are basically no rules except you cannot use hacked clients. You can build bases destroy stuff explore far away and try weird experiments. It tries to stay exactly how Mojang made Minecraft so it feels like singleplayer but with other people.
The owner uses Fabric so the game keeps real vanilla mechanics. Redstone works like it should. TNT chains and piston machines act like singleplayer. Tick timings stay the same so technical players can make farms and machines without everything breaking.
The performance is tuned a lot. The server changes simulation distance mobcaps and render distance while people are online. This keeps it running smooth even when more players join.
There are a few gameplay notes. The nether roof is allowed so you can travel super fast. Chunk trailing is patched. Portal chunkloaders will work but they stop when no player is close in either dimension.
If you want a server that feels like real vanilla Minecraft with almost total freedom this one is pretty close.

I found this Minecraft hosting called Pixel Forge and it is all about simple servers that just run well. They use fast NVMe storage and modern CPUs and they tune everything for Minecraft and especially Paper. The plans are based on real performance not fake huge specs.

The Budget tier is made for small friend groups. It has 1 vCore and 2GB of RAM so it can run a vanilla or Paper server with a few players without problems. It is not really for big modpacks or public networks.
The Medium tier gives 4GB of RAM and is good for growing communities. It can handle plugins and datapacks and longer play sessions and still stay stable.
The High tier is for more active servers. It has 2 vCores and 8GB of RAM so it can handle more players and more plugins and bigger farms with less TPS drops.
There is also an Ultra tier with 4 vCores and 16GB of RAM for even more demanding setups.
