Look up the Oracle cloud free tier. Combine that with an desec.io for DNS service and you are good to go.

Yeah. They made so much money in their java enterprise and they just want to get a hold in the cloud market and not get irrelevant. Their always free their is generous compared to all other clouds.

but who know, how long this will stay...

But let me warn you: Deleting your account or even disconnecting credit card is going to be a journey.

Somehow I won't able to login to overall Oracle account after some time, just on Cloud. This basically locked me in endless loop of support people redirecting me because they wasn't able to do anything. After months what worked was a privacy inquery after legal complain.
