Thank you very much for showing me that. I would like to test this offer. In the first month I pay just 5,5$, do you know maybe if this deal price remains after this 1 month and remain forever till I end the server?
But I think I just try it.
Google cheap boxes vps
Just upgrade your Oracle Cloud To Pay on the Go and just use the free tier again, it’s less likely to get kicked out if you’re a „paying“ customer
If you are on Pay as you go with Oracle you can use the A1 instances and get 4 CPU's and 16Gb+ of free compute every month on top of the two free tier machines
I was a „paying“ customer.
Uff that’s worrying
Check kimsufi servers, there's a black friday promo now
Oracle free tier is just trash. Accounts banned/closed for no reason at all. Support non-existent. Yes, they are pricey, but Linode offers the best performance IMHO. They have a $5/month tier if money is a factor in your choice, but I think that limits the RAM.
"Support non-existent"
I wouldn't support someone who isn't paying me a cent either. Unhinged entitlement.
The whole point of the free tier, on ANY platform, is to show the user that the product is worth them paying for it. That's not entitlement, that is just basic business sense. Oracle's enrollment site is just flawed. The website often does not acknowledge registration for 3-5 days after submitting necessary information. You then have a limited time to respond, or your submission is denied. Yes, the ultimate hope is that you will give up on the free tier and just apply for a paid tier, but the paid tier support is not any better. It is just stupid to turn away people who WANT to give you money. However, this is the Oracle's way. Both free and paid tiers are trash.
Hetzner is pretty cheap, easy to use, and fairly powerful.
