Oracle || Free lifetime VPS

Introduction:
Oracle, a $240 billion tech leader, now offers a free lifetime Virtual Private Server (VPS) with 4 CPU cores, 24 GB of RAM, and 200 GB of SSD storage — sufficient for testing, development, and running lightweight crypto nodes. Although a credit card is required for verification, Oracle promises no charges. During setup, ensure that you select only resources tagged as “always free,” as choosing others will incur charges.

Why It’s Valuable:
Ideal for developers and testers, Oracle’s VPS allows for code deployment, testing, and even running crypto nodes without upfront costs. This powerful setup supports multiple projects, from blockchain applications to decentralized apps, making it a valuable resource for anyone in tech.

Disclaimer: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Ampere A1 Compute Free Usage Limits

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides free usage allowances for Ampere A1 Compute instances (Arm processors) as part of its Always Free tier. The Always Free tier includes:

• OCPU Hours: Up to 3,000 OCPU hours per month, equivalent to 4 OCPUs.
• Memory: 18,000 GB hours per month, equal to 24 GB of continuous usage.
• If you use 4 OCPUs continuously for the entire month:
• This is roughly 2,880 OCPU hours (4 cores × 24 hours/day × ~30 days), which is under the 3,000 OCPU hours limit.
• As long as your memory usage also stays within the 24 GB limit, this usage should remain within the Always Free allocation.

Note:Exceeding these limits incurs charges at standard OCI rates. Users are responsible for monitoring resource consumption to avoid unexpected charges. All usage beyond Always Free allocations is billed according to Oracle’s pay-as-you-go pricing. For more information, refer to Oracle’s Always Free resources documentation.
