Can you get a good Minecraft server anywhere for free?
Aternos
No, they're not good
No, nobody has anything to give away.
A pity
Free: aternos, ploudos, minehub = bad
Pay: minehoster (cheap), nitrado (expensive) = good
Nobody wants to give you a server and if they do they have bad hardware or something
Host yourself, from home…
How does it work?
Load here:

down the server and start it as indicated on the page…
if you start it on YOUR PC, you can connect yourself with 127.0.0.1 …
if you start it on another PC in your network, you need the IP of the host… (192.168.xxx.xxx)
if others should also come to the server, you have to open the port 25565 TCP in your router… And tell the other players the IP that you have

can read.
Is that not dangerous?
No why? Millions of players do this and are sure
and just as many use Hamachi and are therefore super insecure and vulnerable - from the other players…
Can you also do e.g. Baumalwas.de?
If you register the domain, which incurs annual costs, then yes, then you can do it…
How expensive?
Depends on your skills. 2. You can participate in everything. 3. Free.
Nitrado is known to be the worst hoster?
At Strato about 12 euro a year…
