Minehut server vs Paid Server

[Orochimaru]

So I want to start a vanilla survival server for me and a couple of friends and I am willing to pay for one, but I was told by a friend that I should use Minehut because it does everything the paid server would do for free. This sounds really good but i'd imagine that there are atleast some downsides to using a free server vs a paid one https://speedtest.vet/ https://vidmate.bid/. One of the big things I want for the server is for it to be up all the time so that I wouldn't have to start it up when my friends want to play when I'm not online. If anyone could tell me some downsides or upsides to a Minehut server or a paid server it would be very much appreciated. Also the paid server hosting service I'm looking at is Apex because of the convenience but I am willing to change if anyone has suggestions, thanks in advance.

The "Online 24/7" isn't really necessary so dw you don't need to buy the highest plan. Your friends can start the server at any time from the minehut lobby by just typing "/join <yourservername>".

if you are to host an smp, minehut does just the job. although the occasional downtime or updates are annoying, minehut has amazing ways to make your own plugins via skript, and use others made by community members alike.
