Campfire Hosting
4.7
(9)
"If it's the ladder I'd recommend a credit based server host like Campfire Hosting. Very easy to set up and 4x more affordable than the regular monthly hosts that you see out there."
"I have a small group of friend that runs an ATM10 server using Campfire Hosting. Since they're credit based, even the bigger server packages are really affordable."

"Pebblehost, I recently switched to them, very cheap."
"Other reviews I'm reading are quite positive so that's a bit confusing."

BisectHosting
3.8
(9)
"No mention of bisect? I've used it for almost a year now and the server has never once went down or lagged."
"If you're only running vanilla or light plugins, BisectHosting has been solid for me. Their backup system is easy too which helped after someone broke our nether hub."

"Besides that, ive also tried bisect and it was fairly good most of the time as well."

"My friend uses it for our server it’s great."

"Bisect hasn't really been a viable option since 2018 or so, the service quality has become too poor to ignore. Just not worth the money."

"Aternos.org is free and good most of the time."
"Aternos has unlimited player slots and is free."
"Aternos is good for vanilla but it's still a free option and really lags a lot with Heavy modpack... Also lacks some customization (can't add custom mods)"

#14
Exaroton
4.7
(3)
"I would recommend Exaroton. It's made by the same company as Aternos and has the same UI, but it's a pay-as-you-play model with customizable stuff, and RAM."
"I use Exaroton a lot. It’s run by Aternos, and has similar pricing to their system, with a key difference. It only runs while someone’s playing, and you only pay for the server while it runs."
"By far the cheapest one, has regular backups via google drive and is fairly stable."
#15

ScalaCube
3.0
(3)
"They have pre installs for a ton of modpacks which made setup easy. I’m still nervous because I’ve heard mixed things but for a 5 player world it’s been smooth sailing."
"I tried ScalaCube recently and while the interface was decent, the support was kind of slow. Still, it’s been running fine for our group of four with no downtime yet."
