Rules for a free VPS

Free and open source software developers only.
White hat only
Not for commercial use
No service level agreement but we are good.
Don't be a dick rules
No excessive high cpu, disk or bandwidth

Warnings - be honest !!!

Multiple registrations will get you banned
Good reputation on this forum (no history, no server - sorry)
Email address (purely for admin emails), don't make a request if you wish to be anonymous
Failing to accept the verification email will lock you out from re-applying

If you would like a VPS, just complete this form asking what you are developing and links to previous developments.

Acceptance will give you 2 VCPU, 4GiB Ram, 64GiB disk with NAT + IPv6 /96 access on Ubuntu, Debian or Alpine in your preferred location.

For those concerned about using NAT we have our in house Open Source version of NPM. Which provides a reverse proxy so your websites are fully accessible.

We are genuinely doing this to help, so please, no abuse as it messes it up for everyone. FOSSVPS has no income and is a team of 6 volunteers. Apart from a free VPS there are no other rewards. This is driven by the community and is for the community.
