ValueGameNode is a place I found for Minecraft server hosting that is trying to be super cheap without hidden fees. The price starts at 2.49 euros a month so it feels made for people who do not want to overpay.
They say the servers run on high frequency AMD CPUs and NVMe SSDs so worlds and modpacks should load fast and gameplay should stay smooth. The data center is in Helsinki so it is aimed at low ping for players around Europe.
You manage everything with a Pterodactyl control panel and it has one click installers for plugins mods and server versions. You also get full SFTP and FTP access plus DDoS protection to help keep the server online.
They include a free subdomain and they offer a two day free trial on their Minecraft plans. Their BudgetCraft plan is listed at 4 GB RAM and 20 GB NVMe storage for a basic vanilla server or smaller modpacks.
