Cheap Minecraft server hosting, priced per GB
Chunkly prices by RAM and nothing else. Village Budget costs €0.85 per GB a month, so a 2 GB server for about 6 friends is €1.70 a month and 4 GB for about 12 friends is €3.40. There is no setup fee, no slot pricing and no yearly lock-in: you cancel any month. Servers run in Europe on NVMe with DDoS protection.
If you only want to try it, Campfire is free: one Vanilla Java world, no card. See free Minecraft server.

Why it can be this cheap
A Village world sleeps after about 12 minutes with nobody online and wakes when a friend joins. You are not paying for a machine that runs all night for an empty world, so the price per GB stays low.
That is also the trade-off: the first join after sleep waits while the world starts. For a group of friends that plays in the evening, that is usually fine. See sleep and wake.
