What hosting is suitable for 5 people to play Minecraft 1.18?

Question

Network administration

My friends and I in the discord server decided to rent a server for Minecraft for version 1.18.
The problem is that we do not know what is the best hosting to take. We just want to play in the usual vanilla world, for 5-10 slots max, without limits (so that there is a nether and an edge). Please advise hosting.

Answer 1

advice - take a non-virtual machine ( it's better to have a faster processor than all other features such as a fast disk, ecc memory, etc.), closer geographically to the players, otherwise minecraft will lag and you won't get any pleasure.
A good way to save money is to have your own server based on a desktop machine (without a gpu accelerator), in terms of money in half a year 24/7 such a solution will become cheaper than rent (although if the price of just hosting a server is 3-5 thousand rubles, then no, in regions such sad prices), even if you place it in a data center (there is a problem, few data centers put non-server solutions in their rack, but of course there are) and most importantly, when you play enough, your piece of iron will remain in your possession.

Answer 2

There is quite tolerable aternos - it will be enough to play with friends even on a free plan.
If you want to set up mods, that is, hosting-minecraft.ru
We played both, I never saw any problems
