Hate to be the Devils advocate here, but Oracle is the only one (as far as i know) which provides a FREE usable server. FOREVER. Via OracleCloud

And as usual from Oracle, it isn't worth free. You better have a good backup, because they'll shut that shit off on you without warning.

Promise free cloud forever. Randomly delete it without recourse once people come to depend on it.

Check: sounds pretty evil.

They like to randomly delete them. It happened to me and a friend.

Until it randomly gets removed without warning

As far as i know, yes. Forever. Only 1 cloud provider that gives free usable server FOREVER (until they eventually change their policy or something)

Mmm saas is not forever nor are loss leaders.
