I am planning to shift from Aternos to a paid Minecraft server since the queue times are too long and I don't mind paying a small amount for a server in general.

I am looking for a cheap alternative that has similar functionalities to what Aternos provides like mod support, console, server permissions, backups etc but with additional features expected from a paid server. I plan to play with not more than 6 players at once and even lesser players on average. My friends and I won't be playing regularly and we won't be in need of high specs as long as the server remains reasonably stable when running farms or other contraptions.

I tried to use Exaroton as it was made by the Aternos team and I don't have any complaints with its features but its payment provider was just not accepting any mode of payment I offering. I dealt with this issue long enough to realize it's not worth trying anymore.

There are a ton of Minecraft hosting providers out there but I want the community's suggestions on which among them are trustworthy or value for money. I will go through all of the recommendations and choose the one that suits my needs the best.

If you want a completely free alternative, you can use the Minecraft server on a old computer and playit to access it from outside your network. It's harder to set up but it's free.
