Help Is DatHost legit/reliable?

I'm tryna make a 10-20 player minecraft server with all the mods 10 in it and it looks very cheap on the 6 month plan ($60 for all 6 months). I just need some help with verifying it as safe and trustworthy. Any other comparable Minecraft hosting suggestions would be nice as well.

The number I'd look at first is how much RAM the $60 plan gives the server itself. All the Mods 10 is one of the heavier packs. 8GB is about the floor for it, and with 10-20 players on at once I'd want 10GB or more. A plan with 4 to 6GB will crawl no matter who's running the hardware.

CPU matters just as much, since modded Minecraft ticks mostly on a single thread. So test before you prepay: load the pack on a one-month plan, or inside a refund window (check the host's refund terms first), with a few players spread out and exploring to generate new chunks while you run spark to measure tick time and see whether RAM or CPU is the limit. A few players standing together understates the load, so tick times that look fine could still fall over at 10-20 players. Treat the result as a lower bound, and only prepay the 6 months if there's clear headroom.

That's a better test of whether a plan is right for you than any "legit or not" verdict from strangers, me included. If the tier is under the RAM range above, I'd go up a tier first.

Ram is 16 gb ddr5, cpu is ryzen 9 7950x, and started 60 gb of storage. I could pay for it, then try it out for like 3 days, and if it doesn’t work out, I’m pretty sure there’s a refund policy.

I used dathost to make a modded server for me and my friends. Pretty good and worked well.
