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

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

Great video. I just followed along and had no problems. Had signed up for the Oracle free tier some time ago, your video inspired me to revisit it. Thank you!

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

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

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.

Great Tutorial, you have new sub here for life, and coffee will be sent on soon!!!! Very clear and concise explanations on the few vids/tuts i have watched so far.... Thank again!! 👍👍

just came across your channel thanks for showing me this! Been wanting to start my own company and was looking into VPS

Alex this is really amazing thanks for the thorough review

Incredible video. Learned soo much! Thanks, man!

Was thinking about experimenting with a VPS and boom boom pow... KZfaq reads my mind! Thanks. It's up and running and working sweet.

I feel like my brain is leveling up to a new level of WP understanding! Thank you for a great tutorial.

Great job mate! This is actual a wonderful money saving tip for busy webdevelopper

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.

TIL about the Ampere cores on the Oracle free tier. I didn’t know this was available. Now I need to go and play :-) Thanks for the video.

Really useful content. I tried with WSL instead Putty, works well.

I honestly don't even know if you mentioned this in the video, I haven't watched it past the 2 minute mark, but it's extremely important. After your trial period expires, your VM WILL BE DISABLED! You can save the data on it after it's disabled, but it WILL BE DISABLED! After it gets disabled you need to recreate it using the image file you saved and only then will it remain as is indefinitely

Really thank you so much Alex for this video

Love it, I'll "cloud" my website pretty soon. Thanks

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!

Thank you, bless youtube algorithm (and you) for showing this precious info

Brilliant overview, thanks!

Thank you so much, that was so helpful. 👍

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?

thanks bro for sharing this, I'm looking forward to another cool video from you🙂

thanks for the amazing explanation. Great Video!!!

Great helpful video. Certainly, I will try. Thank you, mate! How to setup subdomain and addon domain?

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

I got it! Many thanks for this nice tip!

Thank you so much! Very helpful tutorial.

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

Perfect timing, I was evaluating different free services and was ready to settle with Heroku but this is SO much better! I only want to experiment but I'm curious, what happens if you exceed the free tier maximum values, do you just get charged or is the service interrupted like with IBM?

Awesome video tutorial and great work. Really enjoyed it and learned a lot.

Nice and clear sir! Thank you

Hey, I really appreciate this content so much! It's really awesome. Anyway, can we run NodeJs server on this vps? I mean by using the aapanel. And could you probably help us to make a tutorial for using the AWS free tier as well especially for setting up a Node.js based server? (maybe like Next.js SSR website or Nest.js - Typescript Backend Framework) Because its just so confusing for me! Thank you so much man!!

You can use more than 47GB disk space you get by default ... In your video you forgot to mention that. When create instance check that "Specify a custom boot volume size" checkbox and there you can change default 47GB to up to 200GB for free. Or add later 150GB storage block volume (to already existing 47GB boot volume) and attach it. Expanding boot volume to 200GB may be a bit tricky actually, as you need to install and run oci-utils ... Attaching as separate storage volume is a bit easier, but still have it's tricks. So you may show that in this or separate video, as it will help, if people need more space that default 47GB (actually I think about 25GB free, others taken by OS and etc). There is also Always free older AMD EPYC option at last section, after Ampere - "Specialty and previous generation" - VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro, but it is just 1 core and 1GB RAM (still up to 200GB disk). Can run two of them for free. But they are way slower than Ampere and way less RAM obviously. I've tested and did many benchmarks for both, even comparing 1 vs one core and etc ... AMD core is very limited and more than twice weaker cap set there than 1 Ampere core. So with 4 Ampere cores you get about 10 times more performance. Yet, if you need AMD core - that is option, as Ampere is ARM and you are limited to Oracle Linux, no CentOs and others. Also as ARM you have other hardware/software limitations and if need x86 - you can run two AMD "Specialty and previous generation" machines (1c / 1GB each) forever free. And split that total 200GB disk space as you want.

thanks for the tutorial and especially for the aapanel reference. I've never heard about it before and it looks exactly like the tool I need

Awesome! Nice Tutorial

Reminder to do backups, especially on always free instances.

Hi, great video, thanks a lot for showing all that. Unfortunately, during the registration process we are asked to add a payment method and the prepaid cards are not accepted. Did you get to input your credit or debit card in the registration process ?

Brilliant video! Thank you

Thank you so much man !! actually Im really grateful i clicked your videooo

Thanks for this video. I have one doubt - I set up the same config as you did on the video, but with a boot volume of 200GB (auto-adjusted to 192GB). But, my AAPanel is showing the size of the root directory (/) as 36GB and /var/oled size as 10GB. Isn't the boot volume size the total storage space I will get?

I spend more time tinkering around with servers and panels than I do actually creating anything meaningful on the installs. 😆 I might have to turn off notifications for your videos for a while!

this is should be game changing , thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you so much for a great tutorial 🍻😊👍 !

hey thanks so much for this video! i got an error message when i tried to select shape. "Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex in availability domain pHdc:AP-SINGAPORE-1-AD-1. If you specified a fault domain, try creating the instance without specifying a fault domain. If that doesn’t work, please try again later. Learn more about host capacity." is this normal or do i have to wait it out? or just create one and later recreate again? or is it a one time thing? Sorry I'm so new and just wanted to check

You can also use Ubuntu os rather than Oracle Linux.

Thank you very much for your video. You have helped me to solve all my doubts and to be able to put my project into operation.

If domain name and SSL settings do not appear on aapanel, then turn on developer settings. Great tutorial, helped me a lot! Thanks man !

This very interesting. Thank you so much for sharing this good stuff.

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.

Be careful with this free tier guys. It gets deleted without warning time to time (even if I used it every day!).

Thanks for this, great video, Is there a bandwidth limit and did you test upload and/or download speeds? Thanks

This is gold, man!! Thank you!!

Instead of 4 cores and 16GB of RAM, I am able to select 16 cores and 96GB. Free plan - Frankfurt Server!

Hello, can you tell us what are the best additions we install on this server so that the site works quickly and performs?

Oracle is so underated as always ♥

Hi! Thanks for the awesome tutorial. One question: I have installed docker and nginxproxymanager. I observe that the instance "sleeps" and my site is not accessible until I ssh back to the instance. Is that capacity related? Is there some setting I 've missed?

There are no more capacity, because of your tutorial. Thx man -_-

Thanks you, I really appreciate your video

Superb tutorial. Thank you 😊

Thanks 👍🏻 Idea for next video: could you do a setup tutorial for a free web forum, using free Oracle server.

nice video, nice tutorial, respect, it helped me a lot, thank you

thanks a lot, you're the best!

Thanks one of the great tut

Thanks Alex. Pretty cool, Bro ❤️

Literally you showed that how to host our personal website for free all we need is a domain and we xan host our site you are awesome bro😁😁😁😁

You are awesome ❤️

thanks for the tutorial.

Much love 💝🤘

Great resource. Just looking for something like this. Just one question, how to use NodeJs on this server?

You are best man. thank you very much

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

Thanks Alex.

great tutorial

I was stick with azure but it looks really good for a free tier, gonna give it a try.

Also thanks for telling us this. I signed up and if the service works well I would not mind paying them for additional services considering I might need to scale eventually.

very useful video tutorial.

Thanks for this! Though I messed up the first time (I generated keys using Oracle's rather than putty's) so I deleted my first instance and started over because it was asking for a root password.

Amazing Alex 🕷

Thanks Great tutorial! For updates and security i need to run the yum update command to update linux and also update aapanel?

Good job

Nice video, TNX

Nice tutorial thank you. just wondering which screen recording software are you using?

Is the ARM based always for free without any time limit? I see that the AMD version is also always free

Hey mate! How is the performance difference as compared to VULTR HF ? ( LIKE IN PERCENTAGE)

this is really cool, ty

Great video. Thanks

I tried signing up oracle cloud free tier with virtual credit card but it doesn’t work so can you suggest any virtual card provider if you know any?

Thank you for the info

very helpful

Nice Tutorial. . Thank you

I created the Oracle-Linux 7.9 VPS but I cant find a way to enter in remote desktop. What is this for if you are not inside the desktop?

Excellent Tutorial. Could you do a tutorial on how to install an android system in oracle cloud virt-manager?

hello, on the wordpress install it says that the "localhost" database... Error establishing a database connection.. what can i do? nvm: if you have a long domain, the database name would be shorted in the final dialog screen.

Hello!! After applying SSL on my site now everything looks wrong... should I wait a few hours? That has never happened to me with any of my sites that have SSL enabled, but this is my first time using Oracle.

Hi, I have a problem at Terminal Panel. It required SSH username and password for using terminal. I try to use the SSH-RSA key which was saved as PUTTY type from the video, or any passwords during the progress. I try all, but no luck. Could you please explain why and how to fix this problem? Thank you very much. Best, Tuan
