Amazing Free VPS (4CPU 24GB Ram) Oracle Quick Setup Tutorial

In this video we will be showing you how to set up a WordPress site on Oracle Cloud which is free forever! This is great for those who want to try out WordPress and see how it works and for those who just want a free site. The free tier also allows you to use free SSL certificate and a custom domain. We will be using the Oracle Cloud dashboard to set up our server and we will be using aapanel to manage our server and install WordPress.

I watched the video because Oracle and free in the same sentence is like seeing a Unicorn

Hi Alex. I greatly appreciated this tutorial. If I could have done more likes I would. I'm in the process of reestablishing my wife's art website after having to shut it down. This is a great birthday gift for her. Would be taking advantage of this free tier service from Oracle. Thanks for this.

I don't recommend oracle cloud, you will loose all your data in case you store or do anything. I had a free account on it, and after the free trial expired, I dint upgrade it, They terminated/suspended my account. When I contact an agent, they say that system terminated my account and they cant do anything.
They didn't even provide any reason for termination. Note I didn't use the 200 gb storage to store any file/ abuse the compute. More over I have only used it to experiment on creating an instance, setting up network and other types of learning.

Great tutorial! Thank you. I am suprised to see that AApanel works with this oracle image. I've been using aapanel 7.x Chinese version with CentOS 7(same Apache, SQL, php) for several years, quite stable, but not sure this aapanel 6.x with oracle, hopefully also stable. From aapanel, the compatibility differs, Centos7.x > Debian10 > Ubuntu 20.04 > Cenots8.x > Ubuntu 18.04 > other OS.

Incredibly, in a few hours the server was set up, the domain was registered and the page was set up.
Great tutorial

When I registered, the free tier was still at 100GB block storage and 2 VMs with 2GB of RAM each. I will definitely try out the ARM server soon!

Pretty cool, thanks Alex. I'm still going to use paid hosting but for anyone wanting to use a free option, what more could you ask for?

[unflavoured]

made my personal semi-static webpage in flask. been looking for a free way to host it until i can afford OVH again. this works great <3 thank you

[berkcan]

my acocunt is jsut approved and I can select 16 cpu with 64 gb ram OMG is this free forever or do I see it because of my first 30 days promotion ???

[stecygravel]

IMPORTANT: choose the right region from the start because you cannot change afterwards. The "ALWAYS FREE" shapes are only available in a few regions.

Beware using this lol. I deployed a project on it and received an email in a few weeks that it was terminated and I’m unable to reactivate it. Have reached out to them many times asking why the service was terminated and nobody from Oracle has responded to me. It has been months since I first emailed them.

I've highlighted the important parts:
You get access to your 4cpu & 24GB service always free forever.

You ALSO have a 30 day trial to test everything else on Oracle, e.g. you can test 16CPU and 96GB ram if you like, but it will only last 30 days.

How can they do this? Oracle can do whatever it wants, it is 37th biggest company in the world, worth over $260 Billion. The CEO is top 10 richest person in the world. They simply want young developers and engineers to choose their more expensive systems when they grow up to become managers, and they do this by getting you hooked when you're young with this free tier stuff.

Hope this makes it clear! Enjoy :)

Only 4CPUs and 24GB are free for more than 30 days
Thanks for the news. I like to most the part of not being suddenly put under the paid program. I hope to develop some sort of ML app with it

Tried to subscribe, but it doesn't pass over the credit card payment. A friend of mine tried it as well and it didn't go. Contacting the support is frustrating: Unfortunately, we are unable to resolve this or process the transaction. This is all the information we can provide.

Incredible video. Learned soo much! Thanks, man!

[lightwestmusic]

[mouravocal]

I was looking for something like this to start deploying my personal projects, thank you so much! Greetings from Brazil!

[investfoxy]

They deleted the free tier instance and my website data with it.

You can also use Ubuntu os rather than Oracle Linux.

Would you do Rustdesk Remote Desktop Server on an Oracle Cloud?
