How to get a Free Google Server Forever
Google's f1-micro is considered under the Free Tier which does not use any credit when used within required limits. Get one today to and start using it for free (more information below)
cloud.google.com/free/docs/gc...
Exactly how to get your own free google server via the google cloud platform that will work forever on the free tier!
If you're a developer doing websites, a programmer making applications, or just need your own testing environment, this will be quick and straight to the point. This is using the google compute engine for web dev coding!
I also go over bringing up the environment with an express web server that you can host on a public IP address as a test.
You can build full websites using HTML, CSS, JS using this platform!
Be aware that Google does calculate its web server instances based on the CPU, Memory, Storage and Usage, so it is possible to be charged if you go over it!

I don't think it was intentional, but this is pretty misleading. While the VM instance itself is free, the VM storage is limited to 30 GB-months (not 30 GB/month), which is not renewed. That will run out in about 6 months, even if you only store Ubuntu on it (I think an Ubuntu install is about 5 GB). After that you'll be billed.

@@user-vs9kv4pd1i I'm not sure, but it's just generally really easy to make mistakes and difficult to figure out what's going on with billing on GCP. I'd say most of the unexpected charges I get are from some sort of persistent storage that another GCP service uses, but for me, it's never more than a few pennies. Maybe they're talking about the Cloud Shell instead of actual Compute instance? You only get something like 50 hours a week for free on Cloud Shell, and it will also persist the home directory, which might result in extra storage charges. Google doesn't exactly make that clear and just says it's "free" on the pricing page.
