In case you were one of the lucky ones able to snag a free account in the olden days, the terms have changed. Instead of 4 CPU and 24 RAM that you were free to whack up amongst 1-4 VPS, now you got 2 CPU and 12 GB RAM, so either one dual-core VPS or two single-core. If you keep using the old setup beyond a certain date (can't be bothered to look up when that is) you'll get billed; at reasonable rates, I'm sure.

If I'm reading this correctly, the block volume storage allotment hasn't changed, but their whole setup is hella confusing, so might be off on that.

Was really a matter of days when they was gonna axe the thing, they fired half a planet's worth of workers, I'm amazed they left even this much.

No one should touch anything Oracle with a 5000ft pole, to be honest. Sorry you had to find out that way, OP.

Yeah... I pay money for 2 cores and 4gb RAM. I'd read the fine print on those free services.

I'm not comfortable with free services anymore. Nor am I comfortable dealing with a company subject to the Cloud Act.
