Hello guys,

sadly my account on oracle was banned for no reason so I try to find something else.

Do you know any alternatives?

AWS doesnt work for me because it only gives 1 GB of RAM, thats nothing, I need something similar like the oracle thing at leat 6 -10 GB RAM.

If you dont know any alternative or there isnt any free alternative, could you please tell me whats the cheapest and best vps hoster ? Idk if vps is the right expression… You know what I mean, a virtual machine with Linux, thats all I need.(I want to run a minecraft server but I need a lot of RAM.)

Simply the best price-performance ratio please.

I really appreciate any answer :)

    Contabo is doing great discount for Black Friday just now, with no setup fee (for both VPS and VDS) and 1 tb ssd (for dedicated server)

      Thank you very much for showing me that. I would like to test this offer. In the first month I pay just 5,5$, do you know maybe if this deal price remains after this 1 month and remain forever till I end the server?

      But I think I just try it.

    Oracle free tier is just trash. Accounts banned/closed for no reason at all. Support non-existent. Yes, they are pricey, but Linode offers the best performance IMHO. They have a $5/month tier if money is a factor in your choice, but I think that limits the RAM.

      “Support non-existent”

      I wouldn’t support someone who isn’t paying me a cent either. Unhinged entitlement.

        The whole point of the free tier, on ANY platform, is to show the user that the product is worth them paying for it. That’s not entitlement, that is just basic business sense. Oracle’s enrollment site is just flawed. The website often does not acknowledge registration for 3-5 days after submitting necessary information. You then have a limited time to respond, or your submission is denied. Yes, the ultimate hope is that you will give up on the free tier and just apply for a paid tier, but the paid tier support is not any better. It is just stupid to turn away people who WANT to give you money. However, this is the Oracle’s way. Both free and paid tiers are trash.

    Just upgrade your Oracle Cloud To Pay on the Go and just use the free tier again, it’s less likely to get kicked out if you’re a „paying“ customer
