There is very nearly no point in hosting a server. You get almost zero control over anything. Therefor they're almost all the same. I rented one, excited to try out the features and make a hardcore kinda server. Tough zombies, limited loot, etc. When I realised all I could do was make the day-night cycle different I was thankful all I got was the cheapest option to try it out.
Love the game, but things like this are just going to kill the community, and once it's gone it will be hard to bring it back.
