Looking for host
Not sure where to ask now that marketplace is closed, so sorry if this is the wrong place but:
Im planning on launching my SMP soon that I expect to have 25-40 concurrent players during peak hours. Previously I used Lilypad's 44$ plan, 5 threads, 7950X, 16Gb ram, which did an okay job for the most part but I think I need something a little more powerful, that was also 2 years ago so im not sure if theres new better competitors now.

$44/mo is a little rough for a server that size. you can probably get away with something cheaper on bloomhost or winternode. in most cases, it's a server optimization issue than a hardware issue. you can effectively double your player cap by making the proper optimization changes using something like Paper.
yeah I know, I try to be pretty unrestrictive and not do optimization changes that would break gameplay too much though
I hear you, but the game is horribly optimized. you can get a lot more power out of your server with very minimal changes to gameplay. you should check out this guide https://www.setup.md/guides/optimisation
how is that not powerful enough for 25-40 players?
I have a lot of technical players that make excessive things
an upgrade for a 7950x that would make a difference would be the 9900x or 9950x
