You can start the server again manually right? Because i am about to go for Oracle free forever server ( It is a Analytics server so i dont mind them deleting the entire server sometimes. And me manually starting it back up as soon as they do that. Also we have auto backup I just want a free server

Will it work?

Unfortunately deleted means deleted. Data gone.

My recommendation is to use it as a reverse proxy to expose services but ultimately host from another device.

It's 1 gb of ram anyway (the free 24 gb of ram arm vps' are scarce and hard to get).

Another tip is that they monitor cpu and ram and are more likely to delete it if is idling. There exist programs on github that do nothing but waste cpu in order to try to keep the oracle vps up.
