Hi there! I'm a mod from Godcraft, which is a pretty well known pay to play server. I'm not sure about the server you're joining, but ask for specs maybe, and ask what their up-time is. Usually the 10$ fee is totally worth it on the server's side because 1, it certifies that you're probably not going to grief because you paid 10 bucks to get in, then it also helps pay for the server's monthy cost to keep up. In all honesty, I think pay to play servers are some of the best out there, and the way to go. Thanks!
