It requires some technical insights but I’ve got a free server running through Oracle.
At first it’s a Java server but with plugins also Bedrock players can login and play.
Since it’s a free tier server, the resources are limited. But perfect for small households where the kids simply want a world to play on without the need of one of the devices being online.
If you use the arm vm it actually makes a very competitive little server I’ve found. I don’t ever have more than 5 people at once but I also run 10 bukkit plugins and I’ve never had a problem
Like others already advised you should be okay using an old laptop running Linux. Also get the paper server for minecraft as it is way more optimized than the vanilla servers
Edit: I almost forgot, using GraalVM instead of OpenJDK or whatever default Java installation is worth looking into. Doing that gave my Minecraft client a ~20% performance uplift
Also if you need help getting more FPS for a better (clientside) gaming experience feel free to reach out
