Great News for Open Source Developers
ST-Hosting have kindly donated a fantastic server in Frankfurt (de1) which will be available for at least two years !!!!
This is extremely generous and has been made available because they, like us, want to help the Open Source community.
For those interested in figures, it is an AMD EPYC 7402P 24-Core Processor with 128GiB RAM and 1TB SSD. So we have lots of capacity available 
We also have space available on our other European and US servers. Absolutely FREE, no catches, no credits, no price bumps.
Server locations and end dates are always on our website at https://fossvps.org and currently are :-
- Moldova Chisinau courtesy of Alexhost till 31th January 2027
- US Buffalo Courtesy of MSATT till 22nd November 2026
- US Los Angeles Courtesy of MSATT till 21st of December 2026
- Romania Bucharest courtesy of Hosteroid till 6th March 2026
Rules for a free VPS
Free and open source software developers only.
White hat only
Not for commercial use
No service level agreement but we are good.
Don't be a dick rules
No excessive high cpu, disk or bandwidth
Warnings - be honest !!!
- Multiple registrations will get you banned
- Good reputation on this forum (no history, no server - sorry)
- Email address (purely for admin emails), don't make a request if you wish to be anonymous
- Failing to accept the verification email will lock you out from re-applying
If you would like a VPS, just complete this form asking what you are developing and links to previous developments.
Acceptance will give you 2 VCPU, 4GiB Ram, 64GiB disk with NAT + IPv6 /96 access on Ubuntu, Debian or Alpine in your preferred location.
For those concerned about using NAT we have our in house Open Source version of NPM. Which provides a reverse proxy so your websites are fully accessible.
We are genuinely doing this to help, so please, no abuse as it messes it up for everyone. FOSSVPS has no income and is a team of 6 volunteers. Apart from a free VPS there are no other rewards. This is driven by the community and is for the community.

Very cool! That's really nice specs per vps too.
Thanks.
I am actually 'working' on a dynamic upgrade so when needed, extra CPU and RAM will be added. So if you need to compile, the resources can become available. Obviously with abuse control in place. This feature will be available to ALL FOSSVPS clients.....
For valentines day, we have just released another free server in Buffalo as our existing one has proven popular. This was donated by a current user of LET and FOSSVPS, thank you so much https://jetno.de
So we now have Germany (de1), Moldova (mol1), Bucharest (buc1), Buffalo (us1 and us1a) and L.A. (us2).
So if you fulfill our conditions in the first post you can have your own free VPS.
Have fun.
Mike
All these people doing God's work. Bless you.
very cool
Well we are working in 'the cloud' after all.
Happy to help if I can.
Mike
THANK YOU @st-Hosting!
And a big THANK YOU! of course also to @msatt!
great, FOSSVPS is growing bigger
This is really good news, I already have it, and I will give the resources to others who need them. Thanks to fossvps for their contribution.
After speaking with @msatt I have given up my slot in favor of someone else getting the opportunity to participate. I would obviously like to thank @alexhost and @Not_Oles for letting me join this ride since the ground floor.
I still have nothing but positive things to say about the service, the team and especially not about the prospects for the future development of this project!
Looking forward to see this grow, and hopefully be able to contribute in some way in the future as well
@zejjnt You are an example of a great understanding client, so thank you and great to hear your very kind comments.
Huge respect for offering free VPS to FOSS projects
