PlayHosting is one of the BEST free…
PlayHosting is one of the BEST free Minecraft server hosting platforms for modding, plugins, and Java/Bedrock cross-play.
It doesn’t have a whole lot of integration yet (I would loove some PlayHosting discord bot so I can let players get the server online whenever they want) and can take a while before a server is playable (with their hosting queue) but it’s still a top-tier hosting platform!

Best place for Minecraft severs
Having needed a place to host my Minecraft sever for me and friends and having looked at all the options out there. Play.hosting became the only viable option, the fact they offer free hosting is amazing and we never have issues with the server
