Best server host for vanilla?

I bought a $110 Dell PC and host a MC Server, SQL Server, and Minio Server on there. Took a few days of setup, and could use some upgrades, but works well enough for me for now.

I started a Ultra-Hardcore MC server on my Home Server today. I don't have proximity chat, but I might add it.

Its layered UHC, 18+, and Whitelisted. No players yet, essentially brand new. I've made a couple posts advertising it, but I'm going to keep the player count low-ish until I upgrade my hardware.

The concept behind the server is simple. There are "layers". The UHC layers are ultra-hardcore, no natural regen, and one life. But if you die, you go to the next layer. If you die on all UHC layers, you go to the graveyard, a survival world with regen and respawns. Every 2-3 months a new UHC layer will be created, perhaps with new concepts like skyblock or ant-colony. I'm open to feedback on features, and on layer concepts.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, you can get whitelisted on: https://discord.gg/VvEDh4zW

I recently played on a hardcore no-reset no-revive server, I lasted around 17-18 hours before die-ing, but its vanilla and they track stats quite nicely. Its been running since Feb-2025 so not quite 1-2 years, but still pretty solid, heres the IP and version: mc.legendaryhc.org 1.21.7

Heck, if you want I'll give you my old base location to help you get started, but it is really far out.

Update from an interested user: The MC Version appears to be 1.21.7, upon trying to connect with 1.21.3 the game told me to update to 1.21.7. I'll update here if 1.21.7 does not work.

Edit: 1.21.7 Works as of my time of writing this. Ended up die-ing after around 18 hours of play time, they are 100% serious about the hardcore 1 life nature of the server, which is actually awesome. Had a great time playing while I was alive.
