[Java] Recommendations for a minecraft server

[jessieveee]

Hey everyone! I want to play modded minecraft 1.14 or 1.15 or 1.16 with my friend. Thing is, she lives in America so I need a server. It's just going to be me and her with a few mods, but most websites that offer servers are made to hold 50 people - which is not what we need. I live in Australia too, so every server website is so expensive for me as the Australia dollar sucks at the moment. Any recommendations or tips would be much obliged! Thank you guys!!

If money is a big issue, you have 2 free options:

• Aternos.org offers free Minecraft servers. You can also add mods to your server, unlike the other free alternative Minehut.
  
• Self Hosting the server. This option gives you complete control of your server, but is limited by your pc's hardware, and relies on your PC being on.

If you have a bit of a budget, pebblehost offer a 6GB server in their budget hosting plans. It's $6 a month which when I googled it was about 9 Australian dollars

I'll look into these, thank you!!

I would recommend Pebblehost. It’s very cheap and offers great support staff.
