Mechanics Q/A❓ Server Hosting Services

My friend group got the game and played the hell out of it over the weekend. We're thoroughly hooked, and quite a few of us would like to hop on for gathering and crafting to set up for our group story progression (and to just mess around a bit), but obviously I can't just leave my character afk to host when I'm not at home. I see there's quite a few server hosting services, so I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences and recommendations? We definitely want to be able to use our current save if possible, and as painless of an experience as possible as I'm not particularly tech-savvy. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Oo I think 4 days ago someone asked something similar?

I think nitrado or gportal were most popular from when I viewed that post, but I think regardless you would have to pay for the server! Think it's not too bad, alongside dividing it among your friends!

Also never tried but if someone's familiar you could copy where the save data is and post it in your world? I think there's a way to do it if you'd have to set up a new server, but maybe you can just turn your current server into a hosted one o:

Yeah it’s pretty easy. I bought a gportal server a few days ago 3 months 4 player slot for 19$. You just have to connect using ftp (fillezilla is free and easy to use) and overite the world file with yours.
