what if I told you that you could run a
0:01
high-powered Linux server absolutely
0:04
free forever no strings attached that's
0:06
right i've been using one for over 4
0:09
years now and it's been an absolute
0:11
gamecher it's a fully functional server
0:13
with 24 GB of RAM four CPUs and 200 GB
0:17
of storage and I haven't paid a single
0:19
scent let me show you exactly how I'm
0:21
doing this so you can set one up for
0:23
yourself we've all faced that moment
0:25
when free trials run out you sign up for
0:27
AWS or Google Cloud enjoy the benefits
0:30
of their trial period but then you're
0:32
hit with monthly fees you weren't ready
0:33
for it's frustrating and I was in that
0:35
same boat years ago but during my search
0:37
for an alternative I stumbled upon
0:39
something incredible oracle Cloud they
0:42
offer what they call always free
0:44
resources and let me tell you this isn't
0:46
some watered down barely usable free
0:48
tier this is the real deal unlike free
0:50
trials that eventually expire Oracle's
0:53
free tier is forever they give you
0:55
powerful specs 24 GB of RAM four CPUs
0:58
and 200 GB of storage completely free
1:02
that's more than enough to host a
1:03
backend run databases or even experiment
1:06
with more resource inensive projects
1:08
it's reliable has no hidden charges and
1:10
is perfect for developers who need a
1:12
stable environment without breaking the
1:14
bank i've used it for personal projects
1:16
testing and even some production level
1:18
tasks and it's never let me down so how
1:21
do you get started first head to
1:23
signup.oracle oraclecloud.com you'll
1:25
need a working email address and a
1:27
credit card for verification purposes
1:29
but don't worry you won't be charged
1:31
fill out the sign up form verify your
1:33
email and provide your details it's a
1:35
straightforward process and Oracle's
1:37
interface guides you through each step
1:39
once you've completed the sign up you'll
1:41
gain access to your Oracle Cloud
1:43
dashboard this is where the magic
1:44
happens now here's where it gets even
1:46
better now let's create your free
1:48
instance from the dashboard navigate to
1:51
compute and then select instances click
1:53
the create instance button and you'll
1:55
see various options to configure your
1:57
server here's the key always look for
1:59
options marked as always free for the
2:02
operating system I recommend selecting
2:04
Ubuntu it's versatile widely supported
2:06
and easy to use adjust the image and
2:09
shape settings to match the free tier
2:11
specifications before finalizing you'll
2:13
need to download your SSH keys these
2:16
keys are essential for connecting to
2:17
your server later so make sure you save
2:19
them securely finally attach the boot
2:22
volume which can go up to 200 GB and
2:24
click create the system will take a few
2:27
minutes to spin up your instance but
2:28
once it's done you'll have your very own
2:30
free server ready to go accessing the
2:32
server is just as easy you'll use the
2:34
SSH keys you downloaded earlier to log
2:37
in if you're unfamiliar with SSH don't
2:39
worry it's simpler than it sounds open
2:41
your terminal and type the command
2:43
ssh-path to the server key Ubuntu at
2:46
your public IP hit enter and just like
2:48
that you're inside your server it's all
2:50
yours you can install software host
2:52
applications setup databases whatever
2:54
your projects demand a quick tip if you
2:57
encounter any issues during this process
2:59
such as trouble connecting via SSH
3:01
double check that you've set up your
3:03
keys correctly and are using the correct
3:05
IP address for added security consider
3:07
enabling a firewall or using tools like
3:10
fail to ban to protect your server from
3:12
unauthorized access regular backups are
3:15
also a good practice to avoid losing any
3:17
important data and that's it you now
3:19
have a powerful server at your
3:21
fingertips completely free for as long
3:22
as you need it happy hacking
