Host a Minecraft Server For Me?

Hi! My friend and I love minecraft and we have been playing on various servers for the past couple of years. We mostly play survival, and we're part of a faction server right now, but we want to be able to play regular survival together. Is there anyway one of you could host a server for us, or let us join a private whitelisted server? We're good players, and we wouldn't destroy or do anything bad. If it helps, we're on EST!

To be able to host a server you need to have a decent computer and it may take a while to find someone who is willing to do it. You could just buy hosting from a minecraft server host. The lowest I saw was like$5 /month for vanilla server.
