If you are looking for a very powerful server without costs, Oracle Cloud would be the right choice for you!

What can you do with it?​

• Host WordPress website
• NodeJS/ Express Application
• Flask Application
• Run Docker Application
• Host Your Own Jupyter (24/7)
• Run Trading Bot, let it make money for you
• and many more …

Setup Oracle Cloud Server​

Step 1: Create an account​

Just head to https://signup.cloud.oracle.com/ and finish the registration process. Although you need to input your credit card, it is just for verification and you dont need to pay anything when using Always Free services.

Step 2: Create VM​

fig 1. Create a VM instance on Oracle Cloud
After login into your account, click on “Create a VM instance” as fig 1. According to Oracle [1], all tenancies get the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free for VM instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape, which has an Arm processor. For Always Free tenancies, this is equivalent to 4 OCPUs and 24 GB of memory. So, to get most of the “Always Free” service, you may follow the Shape setting as follow:

For the SSH option, you may create yourself using PuTTy or use the auto-generated one from Oracle, dont forget to save the SSH key as you need it to remote to your server.
For the Boot Volume, you may input 200 GB as it is the highest possible you can use as an Always Free tier:

Step 3: Connect to VM​

You may connect to your VM by SSH with the private key you generated from the last step with user “opc”. You may use PuTTy/ MobaXTerm/ OpenSSH in Windows or use Terminal in Mac/Linux to SSH to the server. After you are in, you may try sudo -i; yum update -y; to update all software on your machine.

That’s it! Now, the server is all yours!​

May I know when did you register? and which oracle region did you select?
Also can you create both free ARM & AMD VMs without any capacity issues?

I'm asking because i'm looking to create a new account for a friend. And need latest input from the users on the region which having good capacity of free vms. Wasted my card last time on region with no capacity of free vms, both ampere & amd. So I don't want to repeat the same mistake. Should have done some research first.
