    Would rather them just offer this at $2 per month with an account limit

  • blissbliss

    I'm looking forward to its future progress.
    How many access will be granted? How to prevent bots?

    The most important is why Vultr offers this, now? Will DigitalOcean follow?
    Time will tell outsiders.

    Credit card required. Paypal, etc not accepted. Not a big deal but OP should mention that.
    2FA is also required again good to have by default

    according to their FAQs

    What does "early access" mean and who gets the free instances?

    This is a new program that we are developing, and it will be rolled out in phases. It will only be available in specific data center locations and will limited quantities available.

    You can request "early access" to the program by applying here.

    Since there is a limited quantity, eligible members will be granted access on a randomized / weighted basis.

    It seems that the answer is in the FAQs, but it seems no actual facts in the FAQs.
    One thing that for sure is FAQs of big giant companies well illustrate the uncertainty principle.

    For everyone that created a fresh account: You can apply the coupon code FLYVULTR250 for $250 valid for 30 days. I already spun up a beefy VM with that credit while waiting :)

    "Your Free Tier starts on 2023-03-09 and will end on 2024-03-09."

    Huh... Free VPS is only for 1 year, that kind of sucks.

    Mine was approved. Sad to see it's only for 1 year, but I guess they're trying to compete with AWS. Oracle still has the leg up on them with their free offering.

    Cheap dedis are my drug, and I'm too far gone to turn back.

    @vyas said: Credit card required.

    tbh I prefer that. Not requiring CC means it gets abused and shut down.

    Some random students without CC & people in wrong countries get caught in crossfire I know but with anything that has compute getting abused for crypto you kinda have to...

  • webzwebz

    Mine also got approved and if your credit card is charged then it will get reversed within a week as per their support statement.

    True, I am okay with that as well- just that it was not mentioned up front.

    Did anyone find it written somewhere in their pre-signup docs that it only lasts a year?

    Once you're accepted, you get the below;

    Didn't see it pre-signup, but a year free is still good enough for me!

    I agree free is good, and not aiming to be ungrateful, but a bit of transparency wouldn't go astray. They're soliciting people to sign up for an account and provide details because it "might" qualify you for a free service, but not disclosing the time limit.

    For those who signed up in March 2023 last year, just a friendly reminder that the free tier period is ending soon.

    Don't forget to delete the instance if you are no longer using it. (I almost forgot about it)

    Signed up. Annoyed that I went with the +250 credit instead of matched $100. Oh well

    Their prices are kinda rough though. :/
