SwiftServers is a Minecraft hosting platform that is actually free and still runs smooth.
From what I saw they use strong hardware like AMD EPYC Rome and NVMe SSD so the servers feel fast and not super laggy.
You can make different types of servers like Vanilla Paper or Spigot and it only takes a short time to get started.
They have their own custom control panel that is built from scratch so it looks modern and is easy to understand even if you are not a pro.
There is DDoS protection to keep your world safe and they also have a backup system so you can create and restore backups quickly.
You get 1 GB RAM 10 GB SSD and a 1 Gbit connection and they do not limit how many players can join.
There is no credit card needed and no hidden fees so you can just make a server and play with your friends.

Vanillacraft SMP – Fresh Semi‑Vanilla Season

Vanillacraft is a semi vanilla SMP that feels really simple and chill. It is made for people who are tired of huge servers with tons of plugins that change everything.
Here you do normal survival with other players and the world is not full of pay to win stuff. There is no economy plugin and no GUI shop. Instead players make their own shops and run the whole item economy by themselves.
There is no land protection plugin so you can build where you want. Griefing is watched by an active staff team and they use Coreprotect so your builds are not just left alone with no help.
The server just started a new season after a world reset so everyone can start fresh together. There is a community spawn with farms and useful stuff and there is a market area where players set up shops for anything you need.
You cannot just teleport around. People travel with the nether roof or with elytras so the world feels more like real survival. There are no pay to win ranks and there is not even a server store so progress is just from playing.
The playerbase is described as very friendly and welcoming. It is active but not so huge that you never see the same person twice. You will log in and recognize people and it feels like a real community.

The server just had a world reset after about six months. So everyone is starting over again at the same time. This makes it a good moment to join if you like an even start with other players.
Most of the trading here is done with player shops and a player run item economy. There is a market district where people build shops for pretty much anything. There is also a shared community spawn with farms and helpful stuff that players can use.
There are no teleport commands and no pay to win ranks. The server does not even have a store. If you want to travel you use the nether roof or fly with an elytra once you get one.

Harvest SMP is a semi vanilla server that feels a lot like Hermitcraft. It is at the very start of Season 5 so everyone is still early game and there is time to catch up.
The server is focused on a good community and good vibes between players and the admin team. It has quality of life datapacks like AFK display fast leaf decay double shulker shells multiplayer sleep and a bunch more that make normal survival less annoying but still feel like real Minecraft. There are some optional mods too like a world map custom heads and simple voice chat.
They like to take their time with each world. The End is blocked for a while on purpose so late joiners do not feel left behind. In past seasons they built minigame areas casino style stuff and a big shopping district and they plan to do that again this season with events and building contests around spawn.
The player base is pretty mature with people from 18 to 55 so it is more chill than random public servers. Any kind of builder and any skill level is welcome. If you want a long term world with people who like to hang out build shops run games and slowly progress together this server fits really well.

This server is called 6b6t and it is made to feel like 2b2t but without a long queue. When I joined there were a lot of players online and it felt busy all the time.
It is an anarchy style server so you can expect people to fight grief and do pretty much whatever they want. There are no signs of safe zones or anything like that so you really have to watch your back.
Both Java and Bedrock players can join and even cracked players are allowed so almost anyone can get on. This makes the server feel really crowded and kind of crazy but also pretty exciting.
If you like wild survival where there are no rules and no queue getting in your way then 6b6t is exactly that kind of server.

H1S Realm is a vanilla style Java SMP that feels like a small story world.
The server has been around for a few months and is meant to be permanent with no planned world resets. It runs simple plugins like Simple Voice Chat some Vanilla Tweaks and CoreProtect so the world stays safe but still feels close to normal vanilla.
There are no teleport or warp commands so players actually travel and explore. It is trust based with fair rules so you can do what you want as long as you respect limits.
The server has lore that drops in sometimes including stuff around Him Herobrine and something called The Dystbrinist. The Herobrine here is friendly and comes from custom scripts and From The Fog so it adds to the story vibe.
The community is small and friendly and they want active players who are at least 15 years old. You have to apply for whitelist but the process is quick if you are honest.
