Hi, i am considering moving my project from aws to Oracle free forever server. (They offer 1 server for free forever). I know that they delete the server randomly sometimes. So we might sometimes lose all our data. Here is what i want to know, from those who have previously used Oracle Free Forever server:
- In my case it is a Analytics server. So i dont mind losing the current data sometimes
- It also have auto backup and stuff. Again dont mind if they randomly delete it
Can i manually re-create the server after they delete it? Also it will be free right? And like any other issues that i should be aware of? How often does this Random deletion of server happens?
I’ve been using a pay as you go plan (not the always free) for years and I’ve never had anything deleted. As it’s still got all the always free stuff I’ve also never payed a cent. I believe it just removes the barrier to paying, but you can add quota limits just in case.
I have 3 instances running (offsite motioneye [arm], wordpress [arm], wstunnel [x86]), but I have daily backups to my home server and plans in place if they get deleted.
