I’ve heard plenty of stories about people’s free tier VM’s being deleted without notice on Oracle Cloud. It doesn’t seem like a trustworthy option for document storage or hosting a website.
I'm assuming they'd be using the $5 per month mentioned in the opening post to pay for some upgrade, e.g. more storage, more RAM, etc. So they'd be on a paid account, but using services that cost zero dollars for the most part. This is what I do and it's been great.
I am using a $5/month server with 1GB of ram, and 25GB of storage. If I want to upgrade it, I need to upgrade to $10/month. Linode doesn't have a free plan after 60 days.
I meant that if you went to Oracle instead of Linode, you could use their free services, and then spend the $5 you're currently spending on Linode on upgrading your Oracle server instead.
