I genuinely don't understand how some people can demand a premium experience from Minecraft hosting when they're not even paying for it! For people who are new to Minecraft hosting, let's put this into perspective.

A Minecraft server typically requires at least 2GB of allocated RAM just for it to be stable. Since free Minecraft hosting easily gets popular, multiply this by 100 to cover each customer using the service, and that alone requires a dedicated server to keep each server running 24/7.

For a premium experience, you would need an AMD Ryzen CPU and 1 gigabit of shared bandwidth. All of that sums up to over €1000, and without profit, that's just impossible to scale.

Put simply, a free Minecraft server isn't simply "just give me 2GB of RAM". The costs of premium Minecraft hosting in general is over €200 to start, and without profit that is simply not affordable in the long-term.

Let me know in the comments what you guys think.
