gatvol of my server at home that keeps crapping out. Looking to run a simple http/mysql server. Tried for 2 days now with Oracle free tier account and just can't get past the Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex in availability domain.
Tried different domains and about to give up. Any other free solutions.
Guess you get what you pay for. Not free but PulsedMedia maybe an option. Anyone using it?

Just go payasyougo as everyone has suggested.

Thanks - that worked perfectly. VPS up and running. Speed is not bad at all.
Pulsedmedia is not a bad option but hosted in Finland which is quite some distance away. Non-root vps so you need to do most of your stuff in docker rootless.
The promo is cheap. Real cheap. Oracle is the best though ZA hosted 24G memory and 4 arm cores not bad for free.
You only get 10TB egress free remember that since you are on PAYG if you don't set limits that could push you over especially with a 4Gbps link.

I think by the time you're doing 10TB per month egress, you're probably looking at being able to monetise whatever it is you're doing
There are some bandwidth intensive stuff that can eat through that 10TB in no time.
Also if your server gets compromised 10TB egress at 4Gbps max rate isn't very long.

How is anybody still on always free after reading this thread?
Just haven't been using the instance (or following in general)
Why is switching away from the always free tier better?
Ok I see it was reversed immediately. How long does it take for my account to change?

Mine took about 2-3 hours.

When you upgrade, I see they ask for Tax reference ? What for ? I'm a private customer.
I think I chose "I dont have" or something.
So, I have another instance but I lost access to it.
My phone got stolen with the oracle OTP that doesn't have authentication.
I tried support and ended in an endless loop of nothing....should I just i give up?will they even help me?
For a while I didn't care as my VPS was up and running, but recently it became offline, and also not sure what will happen to it with the new limits....I do have a backup of everything though.
Maybe one day it'll just come back up....
Can anyone help in telling me what is the bypass file look like?is it a pdf? does it have any name pattern?I am going through old backups now.

Same boat as you. I changed laptops and did not know that when I enabled windows hello for oracle login, I invalidated the mfa authenticator code I had setup. Now on my new laptop I can't get back in and support wants to know the credit card I used to sign up... the thing was virtual so how the heck do I know
