Free VPS really exist?

VPN

check https://lowendspirit.com/ for deals, you can find stuff for 1 dollar a month if you prepared to pay for a year,

googles micro instance free is ok for pihole, uptimekuma and things like that,

the oracle free 24gb ram is arm, but you can do a lot with it, but they will stop it if you dont hit certain usage marks monthly…

AWS is only free for 12 months, after that they will bill you even for things STILL labelled free tier…caught me…

​

https://labs.play-with-docker.com/ good for learning docker or running once off tasks

Hey how much do you pay monthly? Looks good

23

This is exactly what I run uptime-kuma in.

I also use this to store the docker volume backups in from my oracle cloud free VM.

The 1GB RAM is getting long in the tooth for anything more though.

A 2G RAM and 1C vCPU would be much better than than current 2C vCPU and 1G RAM.

Hope Google does an upgrade to the free tier like they did with the previous “F” series servers with 1C and 512Mb RAM in 2018.

24

Keeps telling me it will be $7.11 a month.

25

they wont accept my credit card, just like oracle

26

Did they change the egress or is it still 1GB?

27

You can get one non-preemptible e2-micro instance each month, but make sure to set it up in one of these US regions: Oregon (us-west1), Iowa (us-central1), or South Carolina (us-east1).

28

CC information still needed right?

29

I got in on one of their deals about there years ago, and I’ve been happy with the service. I’m not a heavy user of the service, but they were really responsive and helpful when I needed them.

30

Is this a first-year special or will it renew at $12/yr too?

31

l don’t know, but seems like you failed to read the topic title… lt’s about FREE vps…

32

even knowing your post was from a year ago you need to shut up

33

Same here. Enough to run pihole and wireguard server.

34

I’ve also heard horror stories.

But I have an account and it is rock solid for the last 2 years.

I’ve upgraded to a pay as you go account and set a budget of $5/m and alerts for it. But realistically though, i rarely exceed the free limits. I think because if this, the Ampere instances also are always available.

No complaints. That Ampere A76 core kicks ass. Not underpowered like SBCs.

35

If you actively sign into your account like once a week they wont terminate it. (or that’s what my old friend who worked in sales told me)

Seems like its worked for me 2 years strong and haven’t paid them a dime. hosting my MC server.

36

Count me in, i didn’t receive any notice and my instance vanished randomly with no proper reason.

TBO: customer support is shit here

37

I believe Oracle’s free tier is only ARM if that would be an issue for some services. It’s been great for me going on over a year now, but some things I’ve wanted to run are not compatible.

Just something worth noting. Otherwise it’s been rock solid. It’s also on a 2Gbps 3Gbps symmetrical pipe which is awesome.

38

I assume you can’t monitor your internal servers when running UK on fly.io ? If not then what do you use it to monitor?

39

UptimeKuma

Because its not working for some people. e.g. me (created account and after 2 weeks i logged in and everything deleted and cant create new instance)

hello
is it forever free?
