What Server Hoster should be used?

We currently use Pebblehost and pay 50$ a month for 16GB and 5 threads. Are there better alternatives?

Is self-hosting viable for you?
what mods
Self hosting isn't an option. It's Vanilla gameplay with optimization mods
then you are overspecced unless you have some crazy ass farms
8gb/3 threads is more than enough
we have about 8 players at peak time right now and it uses lots of ram
run a spark report
./spark profiler run --timeout 300
Adjust view distance, consider a mob stacker, AFK kicker
Its also possible a player built a machine to slow down your server. I believe youd be able to find the coordinates in a spark report if such a machine existed
arguably, 6gb is enough

Don't use Mob Stacking/Clear Lag plugins
Let's say IRL you are tasked with keeping 50 trees (pretend these are your entities in game) in your yard, but some asshat (clearlagg) comes around every 5 minutes and chops them all down. It's your job to make sure there's always 50 trees planted at a MINIMUM. So you have to go plant more. Then Mr. Asshat comes along 5 minutes later and chops them down again (rinse and repeat).
Same could be said about any mob stacking plugins. imagine you have to keep 50 trees in your land, but some asshat (mob stacker) deletes 49 of them and puts a sign on that 1 remaining tree that says ""x50"". There's really only 1 tree there, and you still have to keep a MINIMUM of 50, so you plant 49 more.
