No hourly renewals
Server.pro's free demo must be renewed manually every hour. Enzonic's free server just sleeps and wakes.

Server.pro alternative: questions
Server.pro describes its free option as "a time limited demo" that you renew manually every hour.
Yes. One free Minecraft server per account with 3.5 GB RAM, 200% CPU, 5 GB SSD, no credit card, subject to capacity. Paid plans are optional.
Download your world from Server.pro (most hosts offer a world download or backup), create a free Enzonic server with the same software and version, then upload the world folder with SFTP or the web file manager and start the server.
It sleeps when nobody is online, but your address always works: when a player connects, the server starts by itself while they wait in a lobby for about 20 seconds, then they join. Nobody has to open the panel or press start.
