Questions regarding oracle always free program

Deployed a oracle vps marked as always free. Need to know is it always free or there are hidden charges if we surpass the bandwidth and also is the bandwidth unmetered

Comments

  • It is always free. Bandwidth limit is 10TB.

  • How can you register for this ? I tried every credit, debit card I have with no luck :(

    If you from the high risk country - luck is not on your side.

    Yeah I'm in Vietnam and it's impossible to register one. If I have a friend in US, CA, AU and Germany, is there any luck to get one ?

    "Luck" is a paid nowadays. So, ask your friends...

    Try with a work email address if possible.

    I've tried with custom domain email address, does not work 🙂,

    @manos try disabling Ad Blockers and any browser extensions, might work.

    It needs to be from the domain of a reputable company or institution, and obviously, an actual credit card with legitimate contact details—no VPN. At least, this is what worked for me 2 years ago.

    For me, they used to charge around 1~2SGD or 80 ~100₹, I'm from India, not sure about other countries.

    I don't even remember the amount they "charged" me but I heard it can go as high as 100$. One reason it can fail, I guess.

    Makes sense for upgrade to PayG, but for account creation, it’s just a small amount to validate the card. It was 2 SGD for me as well.

    Just tried creating an account, they charged me 90 INR, but account creation was unsuccessfull, I tried it from college issued email ID, and I have visa signet card, thats the best card federal bank provides.

    I guess they have blocked new registrations in India because of large population and large scale abuse!

    Try once with a local isp, if possible, dont use jio or airtel or bsnl....

    Try to use international credit card from international bank. Such as HSBC. I got one HSBC LiveFree Credit Card, free 100%, no annual fee too.

    I used this HSBC card to registered with Oracle Free tier back in 2022 and it worked.

    May be in 2022 it was working, but I guess they have limited new accounts very recently... just check indian youtube channels once, its full of how to abuse oracle free tier and make business out of it.

    And I guess thats the reason!

    Just tried again with flipkart axis credit card....

    No luck bro... 🤧

    Btw... I dont want to open an account, I just checking it out as others were discussing about it. 🙃😂

    I already have a vps from webhorizon!
