OVHcloud if you need many locations around the world, or prefer their entry VPS, slightly cheaper than ours with 40 GB of storage instead of 50.
Aternos if you want a small free Minecraft server for a few friends, and it can stop when nobody is playing.
ZAP-Hosting if a 4-player Minecraft server is enough: their entry plan costs less than ours.
IONOS if a very small VPS in Germany or Spain is enough and you want to pay as little as possible for the first months.
