I successfully got a free vps from them yesterday :
https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/
Yes, it’s really a lifetime vps. After the 30 days of free trial, it’ll still work, the always free cloud services (including vps) will still be available.
Choose wisely the location of your vps, you won’t be able to change it later.
When you create an account, choose a card with at least 1$ on it (it will be refunded). I used a debit card, it worked.
Don’t do the same mistake than me when creating a new vps, it doesn’t work with Brave browser.
It took hours before I finally understood I had to get a compatible browser, I picked up Chromium, but they’ll tell you at least once if your browser is not compatible. Without it, you’d get error messages in your account without being able to create a vps.
Also, when you’re creating a new vm instance, don’t forget to download the private ssh keys. You can also download the public keys if you want. Because once the new vm instance is created, you can no longer download both the private keys and public.
Yes, I tested it, it works : I created my vps account yesterday.
