SwiftServers is a free Minecraft hosting platform that tries to be actually fast and not annoying. It is made for people who want to start a vanilla SMP with friends or run a Paper server without dealing with long waits.
It has a custom control panel that was built from scratch so it feels lightweight and easy to use. You can deploy a server really quick and it supports Paper Spigot Fabric Hytale Luanti and ClassiCube.
They also talk about safety with DDoS protection and a backup system so you can create backups and restore fast. The plan says 8 GB RAM with a Ryzen 5 3600 and 10 GB NVMe SSD plus a 1 Gbit uplink and they say there is no player cap.
It is supposed to be totally free with no credit card and no hidden fees.

This is a Minecraft server host I found called Bearded Host and they are pushing instant and easy setup with a big focus on performance.
They talk a lot about smooth ticks and not choking when things get intense. They also say they do not oversell hardware and they try to be reliable when you actually need it.
The plans are based on modern AMD CPUs like EPYC 9454P and Ryzen 9 7950X and they include DDR5 RAM and NVMe storage. They list locations in Helsinki plus US options like Chicago and Dallas.
They also have a docs site so people can learn how to set stuff up for different games. One thing that stands out is they offer short term servers so you can rent for just a few days instead of paying for a whole month.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
