Post Beta or limited time free services here
I thought of creating this thread as the title above suggests. Some Beta programs are not exactly free, but several providers offer a free upgrade to beta testers. Or they offer discounts and you are able to use the tools that otherwise would cost substantially higher than $ 7.
My recommendations -July 2020
I have been toying around with the two following tools recently. They are-
Pixelied for graphic design Link. (You can read my detailed review here
and
Cleaver Cloud - similar to Runcloud or Server Avatar Link: https://cleaver.cloud
Both are in beta, and in particular I am rather impressed by Pixelied. You can create, resize, edit images, download JPG, PNG or transparent PNGs. I have used the assets for production grade work - images for our podcasts, social media, blog and some posts on LES.
Cleaver is a little quirky - required Ubuntu 20.04 (only) and that might not be up to everyone's tastes. But
worth a try- I recall a few posts in which folks were interested in learning more about /trying out some fo the tools like Runcloud.
Rather than plan vanilla WP or CMS "x" only - you get a bit of a choice including node.js
Comments
how about moss.sh, generous (for now, maybe?) free plan, which is similar to runcloud, but without the optimizations.
There is a product in Beta testing called "SolusVM" that is almost stable enough to use for provisioning virtual servers. It's a classic PHP/MySQL application that really takes you back in the 2000s - complete with brand new bugs to discover weekly. The parent company actually has two VM provisioning products in Beta currently, unless "solus.io" is still considered to be in the Alpha stage. Both are fairly pricey despite being in the testing phase, though each one has a trial period if you want to try the software.

thanks for your sharing Vyas ?
As SolusVM is to virtualisation, CWP is to control panels. Available for production deployment but very much beta in updates, lusers as Guinea Pigs, obscured code and secret changes.
It wisnae me! A big boy done it and ran away.

Are you really using a 'free' vpn? It's free for a reason and I fail to see one that is good for you.
I paid for it, but I see why the question.

I saw that offer elsewhere but didn't sign up, fearing that my mailbox would be full of "special deals".
thanks for the heads up.

been trying out Socialit.io - Social Media Automation tool.
The founder(s) are offering the tool for free, looking to make money from offering premium services. I have my doubts about long term viability of that idea, but good for them if they can pull it off!

NOTE: it's not 100% free, as you will still have to pay for the HDD (min. 8GB AFAIR, some 0.3 USD in the cheapest regions) and possibly egress (some 0.1 USD / GB depending on the region, but the first 1 GB each month is free)
Also not exactly anything new, but since I'm already posting AWS: 1 Lightsail (VPS) instance is also available as free trial for 1 month for all users that haven't tried it yet:
