Setup Oracle Cloud Server​

Step 1: Create an account​

Just head to https://signup.cloud.oracle.com/ and finish the registration process. Although you need to input your credit card, it is just for verification and you dont need to pay anything when using Always Free services.

Step 2: Create VM​

fig 1. Create a VM instance on Oracle Cloud
After login into your account, click on “Create a VM instance” as fig 1. According to Oracle [1], all tenancies get the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free for VM instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape, which has an Arm processor. For Always Free tenancies, this is equivalent to 4 OCPUs and 24 GB of memory. So, to get most of the “Always Free” service, you may follow the Shape setting as follow:

For the SSH option, you may create yourself using PuTTy or use the auto-generated one from Oracle, dont forget to save the SSH key as you need it to remote to your server.
For the Boot Volume, you may input 200 GB as it is the highest possible you can use as an Always Free tier:

Step 3: Connect to VM​

You may connect to your VM by SSH with the private key you generated from the last step with user “opc”. You may use PuTTy/ MobaXTerm/ OpenSSH in Windows or use Terminal in Mac/Linux to SSH to the server. After you are in, you may try sudo -i; yum update -y; to update all software on your machine.

That’s it! Now, the server is all yours!​

Tested and works like a charm:

 

[LuceVN]

Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro in availability domain AD-1. Create the instance in a different availability domain or try again later. 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.

Thanks very much for this. The linked tutorial from ideaspot was very useful and covered everything that you need to know. Revolut and other VCCs don't work in my experience - need to use a real card and they seem to do an ip lookup to match your geo location with the card country.

Yeah, that's right.
They charged 0.84GBP from my card for verification purposes.

I install hestia panel then wp for testing purposes, redirect a free domain name **.tk(from cloudflare) to the vps, so far so good. still can't believe these specs for free..

Also worth mentioning that phone number wasn't verified for me. However, even a private VPN seems to have been detected (ip address = datacentre). They don't flag the VPN detection, but even after the small credit charge goes through and appears to have been successful, you get a payment verification error on the next step of the signup process. I imagine that at that stage you've probably burned that email domain and credit card.
