Where did you find a free server that is that good? Or is it just one of those 100$ free credit things?
They probably get you in bandwidth fees over X amount. It would cost pennies for a small scale virtual server with big numbers as the hardware is shared, it would spend most of the time not doing anything. They could set up a machine and oversell a tier like that and make it all back with profit on their first bill.
I bet they run these free accounts on their test infrastructure, not production. What they get from it is real-world user testing of changes to their infrastructure, similar to how Microsoft uses its Windows Home versions for testing new updates.
Kinda similar to my self-hosted server; 24 core, 32GB - peak number of concurrent users ever hosted is 3.
32 GBs for 3 users? it definitely runs a javascript app
I doubt it’s ever peaked at more than 3 GB usage, even with 18 containers running.
If it ran an Electron app it would need an upgrade.
Can’t be more than a hello world
I have a GSA flashed with non-google firmware that has eight cores and 156GB RAM… it’s not set up yet, but I’ve got all my drives I need. It’s going to be a like 7TB local UNRAID server someday.
That’s not bad at all gonna have to check it out. I host my site on digital ocean it’s on the smallest single core 1gb ram droplet. I run crowdsec and nginx and a couple other little things and it sits around 40% ram usage. Costs 6$ a month and I added 4 weeks worth of automatic weekly backups for $1.50 a month.
I can deal with $7.50 for a little static web server.
They do offer a free $200/60 day credit if you get in with one of the free Linux Foundation cloud classes which is plenty to play with.
You also get a free static website through SDF without sending anyone info. Just sayin’.
Yep.
Oh this is awesome, how have I never heard of this?
SDF in Japan ⇒ Japan SDF ⇒ JSDF ⇒ Japan Self-Defence Forces 🤪

Give use the URL and that 100-number might go 🚀 For testing purposes, naturally.
You can also host it serverless. I set mine up on S3. You pay for egress
- „Serverless“
- looks inside
- Server
Lol well yes it may be a bit of a misnomer. At the very least it is less server than OP was using for their static site
It’s serverless, not servernone
“Serverless” is using someone else’s computer.
So is a “cloud server”.
There isn’t even a fucking “cloud”! Why do they lie to us so brazenly?
You could also host a website like that on Cloudflare pages for free. That way you even get ddos protection and some other stuff.

Hey if you could edit the spammer’s URL out of your quote/translation that’d be great.
