Instead of hosting at home, I’ve decided to go to the cloud and I LOVE the package you get with Oracle. You get enough computer hours for 2 amd based and 4 ARM based compute instances with generous network allocations.
Perfect for those of us who are just playing around with stuff and don’t have a spare PC/Device :)
Hope this post helps someone have some fun!
Tried opening an account today, when I entered a completely valid Amex it gave me an error and to contact customer service which I did through a form, no confirmation was sent to my email. Tried yet again with a valid visa same result. Seems they really have no interest on free service
