I had this long post typed out on Jeroba about why I wouldn't recommend it, but maybe I hit the character limit? IDK. Anyway, the point I wanted to get across is that I've been down that road, and up until February it was going ok, but one should absolutely not trust the Oracle free tier for any service that should be reliable long term, they can and will take the VM down and take back that generous free tier allotment, and IIRC sometimes without any notice. In my case it was literally because my VM was under utilized. No option to downscale my instance, just a notification that they're taking my allotment back and deleting the VM a few weeks before it happened.
