They randomly delete free users with all data.
I've been using oracle free to host a Minecraft server for like 9 months. Can't complain.
They don't like you running the server at 100% for extended periods of time though if I'm remembering correctly.
I think it's the other way around. I've been hosting a bunch of service on mine, which I accessed daily. Even SSH'd to it daily and I got flagged for inactivity because of low CPU activity.
Now I run some bogus CPU intensive task 24/7 and haven't heard back since.
Wow this has never been asked here before.
Pulseheberg is what i use atm
Digital Ocean has basic virtual machines for $4us per month: 512 megs of RAM, 1 CPU, 10 gigs of storage.
IONOS is vastly underrated.
Fly.IO gives you 3 VPSs for free and doesn’t randomly delete them but the free ones are VPS or ipV6 only. That’s not a problem for your use case. A static ipv4 IP is $2/month. IONOS is your next cheapest at $3 then Digital Ocean at $5.
