Their free tiers look nice, but I’ve read that your server must stay above X% CPU usage average to prevent deletion, is that true?
Comment on Looking for a VPS. I don't know who to choose.

Oracle Free Tier. Works like a charm for me for 2 years. Really free, really working. No matter what shit company Oracle is.

I got one. It’s just too slow for what I need and can’t do webrtc because of a hardware limitation.

Did you upgrade your account to a paid one? I’ve read that this might help to precent from being deleted. Even with a paid-as-you-go account you’re able to use the free tiers.

I’m on completely free, no deletionm I’m using it to run Wireguard tunnel to my home network, after I was put behind CGNAT. Domain name pointed to the VPS, it redirects ports to my home.

Thanks. Yes I am currently doing the same but was wondering if my account will be deleted at some point.

Interesting, maybe I’ll play around with that. I’m currently on a simple $5/month Hetzner VPS which does everything I need it to do, but maybe I’ll try using it for experimental stuff (considering a Rust build server, for example).

What are the specs like?

24gb memory and 4 OCPU . the CPU doesnt sound like much, but if its using the ampere back end and not the amd micro, the CPU performance scales up with demand (to a point).
I have two containers running, one using 16gb memory and another using 4gb, they each have one cpu and they perform fine for what they do.

Do you know what is the transfer bandwidth limit on these machines? Wondering if they can be used for setting up a wireguard node.

Just a PSA, never ever EVER request deletion of an Oracle free tier if there is any possibility you might want one in the future.
You can delete/remove instances or whatever as you desire, but you won’t be able to get a second free tier account even if the first is completely deleted.
