I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is still being tested right now.
The plan is to start it up for real in about a week so it feels like a fresh beginning. It sounds like a chill survival place with a small group vibe.

Bearded Host Instant Setup Smooth Performance

I found Bearded.Host and it is all about getting your Minecraft server running fast and easy. They talk a lot about server performance and how every tick matters. The vibe is do not settle if your server gets slow when things get intense.
They say they do not oversell hardware and they focus on reliability. They mention newer Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 7950X systems plus AMD EPYC 9454P on some plans. Storage is NVMe and memory is DDR5.
They also have a docs site so you can learn how stuff works for your hosted games. They push the idea of quick servers too so you can run one for just a few days instead of paying for a whole month.
Plans listed range from 10 dollars a month up to 40 dollars a month. Locations mentioned are Helsinki Finland and Chicago Illinois and Dallas Texas depending on the plan.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Vanilla SMP With Economy And Events

This server is a semi vanilla SMP where the community and the economy are a big deal. It feels like a place where people actually build stuff and keep coming back.
It has land claiming so your builds stay safe and it is PvE focused with no griefing. It also does not use keep inventory so survival still matters.
The economy is diamond based so players trade and run shops. There is also a shops GUI that makes it easy to browse and set up stores.
You can join on Java or Bedrock since it supports crossplay. There is a live world map you can open in your browser and separate resource worlds so the main world stays cleaner.
There are ranks and vote rewards plus weekly events. The vibe is welcoming and more about building exploring and hanging out.

Foggy Willows is a server for people who want real vanilla survival. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no datapacks and no plugins so it feels like the game is supposed to feel.
The spawn is not fancy and you do not have to read a bunch of stories before playing. People are expected to handle their own social problems and just play.
There is no tp and no sethome so travel matters a lot. The world has no border and the server stays on the latest stable vanilla version. It is hard mode and it is self hosted on a purpose built machine. There are no donations.

I found CherryCraft SMP and it is a brand new survival multiplayer server with a no rules style so players can do whatever they want.
There is world PVP all the time and it also has an arena if you want straight fights. It sounds like the kind of place where you build up then defend it or go hunt other players.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermit Style SMP With Proximity Chat

This is a community centered survival server made by players for players. It is going for a Hermitcraft style SMP feel with a diamond based economy and a shopping district.
People work on public builds and bigger projects together. A lot of players use proximity chat so it feels more social when you run into someone.
They try to keep the vanilla experience but they will add cosmetic stuff and other fun or qol plugins when the community asks and votes for it.
It is Minecraft 1.21.11 on Java only. The server is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only. You can usually find around 5 to 20 players online during the day and there are lots of regular active players looking for new people to team up with.
