  It seems permanently unavailable, how did you get an instance?

  They refused my visa during the onboarding, a bit surprising

    Credit card? Have things changed? I have two containers hosted there and I never gave mine.

      Tried a few weeks ago. They wanted my card to check that I am not a bot (I am fine with that), the 0usd transaction succeeded but then I got an error message.

        God knows what they’d have flagged. I was trying to sign up to sendgrid’s free tier to test their SMTP server and got instabanned before I even got the verification email.

  Any caveats to it?

    Just don’t try to run huge amounts of bandwidth or 'irate content on it and you’ll be fine. It does need a credit card on file, but it cannot charge it unless you explicity disable free tier.

      Cool. I’d use very little bandwidth, and my other resource usage would be quite bursty, but almost zero most of the time.
