I'm planning on making a server and was wondering what do most servers use as a host? There are a lot of options but I'm not sure which is the best one to use.
It really depends on your needs. Is going to be a private server with just some people you know, or is it a public server? If the latter you'll want to start small. Also, be wary of the fact that nobody's experience with a host is 100% universal. To some people, a well-rated host might not work right for them, or it just simply might not be what they need.
Yea, it is going to be public. Also, what do you mean by starting small? Do you mean I should start off with a cheap host until I gain some popularity or some sort?
Yes. Sadly not everyone who wants a super popular server is destined for it, and if you're paying a lot for power you're not using then that's wasted money. Many hosts however allow you to upgrade server plans however, so you can upgrade as you need.
If you want a cheap host, I’d go for WitherHosting. If you want to become a popular server, just buy a server. A literal server or a pc then install pocketmine on it.
If you are just starting google cloud is pretty good, it gives free credits for you to use and allows you to upscale and downscale anytime
