Best 'small community server' host?
I'm looking for a host that won't break the bank but will also run smoothly for a vanilla experience with me and 2 other friends, so 3 players total. The only kink is that they play on console and I play on Java.
Yes, we could make a realm, but the one reason I'm looking into this is that I truly am sick of playing on Bedrock. I don't hate bedrock, but Java is my preferred method just based on personal preference. So in all I need a server that supports Geyser/Floodgate and can be up 24/7.
Aternos works great, but anything past 2 players and it really starts to lag, so I'd be willing to pay a bit to have a smooth experience. I've looked into Oracle Free Cloud, but have no SSH experience and after looking up a guide, know that even attempting that would probably end in frustration on my end. I tried port forwarding and just running the server from my PC, but that also ended in frustration.
Bottom line, I want a hermit-craft like experience with my 2 friends on console, and don't want to overpay for it.
