okay so let me know if i understood it correctly. I am planning to host a website which will have 1000s of posts with images as well in each post. I currently have a shared hosting plan with hostinger where i can this add new website. so is it better to host there OR on oracle vps?I using this from start when this is all free. Okay, it´s free, but these mobile processors horrible. And not all software working (like in aaPanel can´t install OpenLiteSpeed, Mailserver and so on...). Best panel for this is Hestia.
With MasterCard you can register without problems.
I have 3 free Oracle accounts and you can use it like Remote Desktop:
In the video don´t see how secure the RDP port with Fail2ban and most time the Remote Desktop is very slow (get auto-attacked with bots what trying to login).
For webhosting is not much good, like few WP sites without loads(4 arm core). The 2x1/8 core x86 running OpenLiteSpeed and anything, but power from 1/8 core is not too much... Think for it like other FREE webhosting services.
SMTP is TOTALLY BLOCKED, no 1 email can go out (all people spamming). Only when you pay can get STMP (but you can set external SMTP for own use like Mailgun, Mailjet...).
VPN very fast forget, big companies like Amazon prime, Netflix, Google knows the Oracle IP addresses, nonstop blocked or Google captcha "are you human?" pictures (not only checkbox).
You can get 1 dedicated IP address, others IP can changed anytime. Few months ago get Oracle a big hardware failure:
And you can´t access the 2 VPS from 3... Must add a new IP for instances.
A good tip: Before create choose Ubuntu version and SSD boot set to free 200GB (automatically is set to only 50GB pieces when you click next).
Beware of not overuse, I only use 4 core and 20GB ram. My friend used 6 core (in 30 day trial is okay, you get free credits) but after 30 days Oracle delete all your instances over limit, or get charging 0,06 cents every hour or so...
Use CloudFlare CDN, but when not much visitors, your site will be fine with free hosting (like googiehost.com) or with OracleVPS with Hestia panel. But when not know how secure it from hackers, better is the Googiehost.
NIce, I will try it and see if it worksIf you are looking for a very powerful server without costs, Oracle Cloud would be the right choice for you!

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:
fig 2. Create a VM instance on Oracle Cloud
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!

lmk if you can get that instance because I've been trying since last month and I always get the "Out of Capacity" message... US West is my Region (San Jose)
change region ! for arm instance start with 1 vcpu & 6gb ram, after creation, update config & push it to 4vcpu & 24gb ram
You have exceeded the maximum number of regions allowed for your tenancy. See the Limits, Quotas and Usage page for more detail. I never got luck for none of this sh*ts lol...
i have 2 vps webserver & 1 vps as ubuntu RDP, working fine from february.. then i don't really know, when i helped some firend to create a vps, i got out of capacity we got first a low vps & after we updated to get full resource.
I see you're using free trial account, as per policy the home region cannot be changed you can subscribe to other regions but that shall require you to have a paid subscription nt,
I tried to register and I couldn't because they don't accept credit cards. Neither Visa, nor Mastercard.!
Paytm for Indian ppl only ?Yes, I have successfully opened two accounts, both of which are different debit cards.
1. Federal Bank - Crown Visa Debit Card
2. Paytm - Visa debit card
