Best hosting for small group of friends?
Hello there! I am looking for the best cost-effective hosting to create a server for 5 people (some will play more than the other, but it isn't a full load 24-hour server). It's exclusively for personal use and I think we will play with mods (not more than 10 mods, I suppose). I am already a sysadmin, so I know Linux and how to manage a non-minecraft server (and I am willing to learn if I don't know how to do something).
I know that usually the best answer to these are the Oracle Cloud Always-Free servers or self-hosting, but at the moment, I can't self-host anything and I used to have a Oracle Cloud account, but I can access no longer; and it takes a lot of time to be able to create a free server, because it always kick me out (and we want to play asap).
I was looking to create an AWS server or Azure, but I don't know if another options are more affordable (or better in general). It can be a non-professional option, these are only some ideas I have.
Thanks in advance to everyone who see this and wants to help me! :)

Raspberry Pi 4 for self-hohsting
Greetings! I've always wanted to create a minecraft server for me and my friends. It will be for 8 to 12 people and I was questioning myself if a Raspberry Pi 4 has the necessary specs to power up this project. The idea is to self-host everything into a Raspberry or a cheap single board computer and using my home router to access the server.
It's a good idea? It's better to cloud host? Anyone has any tip?
Thanks!
