- How to get a Free Google Server Forever
Google's f1-micro is considered under the Free Tier which does not use any credit when used within required limits. Get one today to and start using it for free (more information below)
cloud.google.com/free/docs/gc...
Exactly how to get your own free google server via the google cloud platform that will work forever on the free tier!
If you're a developer doing websites, a programmer making applications, or just need your own testing environment, this will be quick and straight to the point. This is using the google compute engine for web dev coding!
I also go over bringing up the environment with an express web server that you can host on a public IP address as a test.
You can build full websites using HTML, CSS, JS using this platform!
Be aware that Google does calculate its web server instances based on the CPU, Memory, Storage and Usage, so it is possible to be charged if you go over it!

Technically speaking, 90 days (which is the duration of the free tier) is a whole lot less than "forever"
that is what I was about to say.. its only for 3 months what is he talking about 😂
@@abdulmueed2844 they changed it
@@hammy2737 ppl that signed up to 'forever' did they get to keep that or only 90days?
There is no expiration before. Now the free credits expires.
@@kiyokodyele That makes sense now, I'll take it back then
I don't think it was intentional, but this is pretty misleading. While the VM instance itself is free, the VM storage is limited to 30 GB-months (not 30 GB/month), which is not renewed. That will run out in about 6 months, even if you only store Ubuntu on it (I think an Ubuntu install is about 5 GB). After that you'll be billed.
There is a trial period of 3 months or a limit of $300, whichever comes first. So it's not free forever.
The F1 micro instance in this video (now e2-micro iirc, they changed it) is under the always free tier. Even if you use all the trial credit, 730 hours per month of that instance is always free. It's not clickbait, he just explained it terribly
@@One.Zero.One101 they say its free but for me they still charge like 1-2cents a day. if anyone wants to try it themselves to see if free for them, if won't be much of a financial burden.
Hi so my thing says this after i create it Windows VM instances are not included with the free trial. To use them, first enable billing on your account. You'll still be able to apply your free trial credits to eligible products and services.
and it won't let me use the server
On the top right of the console you can enable copy/paste.
GCP pricing is very confusing to me (just as AWS), is there a way to prevent overbilling?
I`ve heard of a few horror stories of billing going out of control, by mistake.
For those wondering, if you stay within the usage limit, it does not consume additional credit. I may have not clearly explained this in the vid. It was however heaps of fun to do, if you want to check out another cool vid, watch th-cam.com/video/GMn9sxCWN0M/w-d-xo.html shows you what a day in my life looks like!
Sir is the 300 dollar credit ends after 90 days
it's outdated; now it requires a credit card
Its expired after 30 days.
This channel deserves a lot. No time wasted. Directly into the topic.
Thank you for the tutorial, endless possibilities with this one :D
Hi Adrian. I followed this video step by step and created my instance and hosted my website on Google cloud. However I have recieved 5-7$ bills each month. In my billing it shows computing costs being the majority of it. Is there something I can change in my project? I'm really not tech savvy 😅 and my website is a wordpress one at that. Please help me.
Trial period is only 90 days. You can used 300 credit in only 90 days.
Wait really? When did they changed that? Last time I used GCP free trial it was 365 days.
Edit: was meaning to say free _trial_ not _tier_
@@mosti72 Were you able to use it again?
It is under free tier for use indefinitely, without using any credit, I might not have explained properly in the video :)
cloud.google.com/free/docs/gcp-free-tier#free-tier
@@AdrianTwarog sorry, I made a mistake in my post above, was gonna say that the last time I used GCP, you could spend the free _trial_ credits in 365 days instead of 90 days the OP was saying.
Edit/tldr: was meaning to say free _trial_ not _tier_
@@AdrianTwarog sir i dont have card what should i do
Love this! Great job!
Wonderful!
Please correct me if I am wrong, isn't the trial limited to 90 days and the $300 credit is valid only for that period? Is there a forever free tier that I am not aware of? I am a little confused.
Amazon EC2 too has the free tier too but its for the first year only I think.
That instance is a special category that doesn't use the credit, which means you get to keep it for other thigns
@@AdrianTwarog how do you get it
Hey Adrian, anyway you can do a video on setting up a Google Cloud VPN?
Just to make this clear, the free trial period is limited to three months. But the free tier is forever, and free tier provides you with enough resources on a monthly basis to run a server for free indefinitely?
That was my thought as well. After the trial ends, how much will it set you back a month if you indeed run this 24/7? Say if you only use it for an OpenVPN server for yourself.
@@One.Zero.One101 it won't, free trier is forever
@@richardbranson8117 I couldn't manage to get into free tier, always stucked at 4 USD per month. Even if I use the same configs.
@@Egel yh I have the same problem. no idea y this is and googles tech support is garbage also.
It’s been literally ONE month since your videos became much better than they already were.
Thanks, still trying to make them yet better
This is great i’m gonna start working on a mock-up project.
They have 90 days expiry now. Sed, Yet thankyou
You can get a better VM with oracle cloud
Im not an oracle fan, but free 4core 24G memory ℅ oracle cloud ftw! 😂
Can you create a new one after it expires?
The 300$ credit is not popping up in billing and when creating instance. I also confirmed my billing. What should I do?

That free f1-micro instance also has a limit of 1 GB of network egress sweetheart. And that will exhaust in no time. 😔🙇
12 cents per gig, all depends on how much used.
Yes
I won't recommend it because as soon as the lab compromising 1:30 hours, ends up. The RDP ends up!
Abain we need to start lab and again new RDP created for next 1:30hours and with new IP!
Changing IP again n again can cause a serious problem.
Any recommendations????
Solution????
I really appreciate you walking through the mistakes as well. A real perspective to setup issues people following may run into. This is a killer tutorial and I really appreciate your effort!
Nice, relevant, compact, and helpful. Just the way I like it 🤘
I have a question ... is there away to override when a company closes the server.
Exceeding Free Tier usage limits
Any usage above Free Tier usage limits is automatically billed at standard rates.
How much is your monthly bill?
at 12 cents per gig, the free credit will last a while unless they change the terms
Hi Adrian, any idea if this forever free tier is still doable?
the opening expression had me dying LMAO. that's shit you'd only see in cartoons lol
I just want to host my website/blog and I want a free trial for up to 6 month. Any alternative.
Thanks for sharing. This is really helpful.
Hope I can create my own express server. Thx for sharing.
Great job bro thanks for the info and I love the background it's give me feeling like I'm in my own house and feel comfortable haha wired!! 😀😀
It's not working when I signed in we reach on payment page
Hi, can i install windows 10 and use a cloude desktop?
Useful video, but how about the firewall rules? Can you explain this part?
hi, is it that even after 90 days, i can still use my vm instance?
I tried that before but when I want to set the payment method I can't get my country on the country list select and If I choose an other country it asks later for the city which is also an other select then the Adress, and the zipcode... that was really upset I couldn't make that.
Ouch; not sure about that one
Use a Fake address and zip code.
It says trail on thair weabsite, dose that mean my server will not be usable after that trail??
You get charged if you link your custom domain name. I currently use the free tier and I get charged about 2 - 3$ per month on my VMs. So, it's not "forever". Except if there is a workaround on the external IP address that causes the charges.
Its probably the egress bandwidth they only give you 1gb for free. After, its 0,12$ per gb.
@@techycompute3636 Sorry ,can u support?I don't understand my page size is 10.9 MB is smaller than 1 gb? Now ,monthly cost run high jump 1$ to 7$ from compute engine.How to reduce compute engine cost? set GCP free forever already(machine type : f1-micro).thanks
@@diybyliger egress is nothing to do with app size. it means web traffic coming in by ppl vising the website
@@richardbranson8117 thanks.
@@diybyliger It's the Outgoing data bandwidth from North America to the rest of the world. So if someone come and visit your website, it's already 10,9 mb to remove from the 1gb and so on for every visits/loadings from outside. I have an AWS Free Tier and i'm not sure but i think you can have way more bandwidth usage.
Do you prefer google over AWS or Azure for your cloud work? great vid by the way,
Thanks, probably aws!
@@AdrianTwarog 👀
what happens after 90 days? will you lose access to the VM?
What’s your meaning: free forever in the title? It has not been shown in the video?
istn't GCP's credit one time thing. I think we have to pay after we run out of the credits
Why you choose a hard way?
apt update
apt install apache2
that's all
Ephemeral external IP does not seem to be free outside the free 300$ credit though ... and without a free external IP after the 3 months expire, my server is pretty much useless. unless i'm mistaken about the external IP costs. Otherwise, great tutorial, thank you!
i were thinking of uploading a serverless on github or something to keep forever vm but i was thinking too much... it's only for 3 months a little bit lees than forever.
Does it require a credit card
Cause i dont have one
Hi would i need a laptop for this , or can i use iPad Pro
I don't get what i can use this server for. any ideas?
A) Forever?
B) With nodejs and all this, do I need after that install from begging the process?
Amazing video but, need an answer for my questions as a newbie I'm. Thank you for your time?

Can I host my email server on the same GCE-F1 ?
you can paste a command to ssh terminal by shift+insert key
I am working on some freelancer websites, but those sites could track VPN, so I guess VPS would work perfectly. All I need is the US IP address for web browsing to do my work.
So, just for Google browsing, I need VPS but multiple IP addresses so that even my friends can work.
**Is there any way that I get multiple unique IP addresses by purchasing one VPS?**
Hope to hear, thanks :)
When a monitor is a ferrari, but keyboard is beatle:D
it is not happening now. Now its asks for the credit card number
Super cute how you dance in your seat when you talk . Is this still current ?
I'm sorry but I don't see how this is "Free Google Server Forever"? You get a 90 day $300 credit. The cost of the server that was setup is nearly $8 CAD per month. You can get the same Ubuntu Server VM setup for $5 per month from Linode, including a $300 credit.
If you want to login via Putty or other SSH Clients: It took me 5 hours to find out that I needed to add enable-oslogin in Metadata and set it to FALSE. Also you need to disable the checkmark IAM Access Control because that enables oslogin.. it was the root of my problems
Thank You. Awesome.
For sure!
Your phisical screen is big, That is why we don't see what is there, much. the letters are so little.
Don't worry mine is bigger and I know how to edit lol
Can I skip billing thing?
By using college id
is the free tier is becoz of f1 micro processor???
what if after 90 days?
Cause it’s on a special free tier, sorry might not have properly explained that part
@@AdrianTwarog so your next video could be deeper on this
Was looking for a platform to host my clients ERP servers and opt for Google cloud and I was impressed with the performance.
Babu'Mthembu
What happens if someone attack your server? is it going to generate a huge billing?
Have wondered this as well. For all of these services (Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Amazon web services) all charge based on usage. So what if a bot comes to your site and racks up a bunch of usage?
this is a wise question, you have to wonder why such a free service exists that requires your account.
What is the amount of ram that we gonna get?
You skip payment option and you skip prepaid card not accept ... Google so you want to show this
will it work if I get message like this : "Your free trial is over, but you can still access the Always Free tier by signing up for a full account.
" ?
Is this still a valid option?
That's only works 1st year, second year onwards u have to pay it.
This anyone ? You have that 300 free credit only for the first year. And the rest of the video is irrelevant.
@@bckahraman from what I am reading on google cloud free program, $300 is only limited for the trial period. The trial period is of 90 days. So I am confused too about the 'forever' part.
Definitely not forever. 90 days only.
Nice video. Can I host a website with that? I am yes, how?
Everything is paid here or need credit card /DC ,tell us free methods
I was under the impression that once your free trial is over, you cannot use compute engine vm instances for free. So this isn't the case?
No. Many GCP services have a free monthly allotment even after the trial period. You get 730 hours for f1 micro VMs per month free. If you only have one VM, it's free for the whole month, or you could run 730 of them for an hour per month.
@@jincyquones 730 hours is 30 days, but 7 out of 12 months in a year have 31 days. If the server is up 24/7, will you get charged for that extra 1 day of running at the end of those months, or am I missing something?
@@user-vs9kv4pd1i No, you won't. I believe they adjust the free quota to match the number of hours in the month, and 730 is just the average for all months.
@@jincyquones Why do some people claim that this is not free after a few months of usage, and that they are being charged couple of bucks a month (which is still really cheap, but not free).
@@user-vs9kv4pd1i I'm not sure, but it's just generally really easy to make mistakes and difficult to figure out what's going on with billing on GCP. I'd say most of the unexpected charges I get are from some sort of persistent storage that another GCP service uses, but for me, it's never more than a few pennies.
Maybe they're talking about the Cloud Shell instead of actual Compute instance? You only get something like 50 hours a week for free on Cloud Shell, and it will also persist the home directory, which might result in extra storage charges. Google doesn't exactly make that clear and just says it's "free" on the pricing page.
i just want to know how to run a emulater on that server
what kind of emulator?
Very understadale))) very nice
Dose it have to be in code no GUI?
Your monitor is samsung odyssey g9?
Is it normal for the server to be delayed? Or slower
ye it’s free the6 can’t give you the best
This is a trap. That VM isn't worth it. Especially if your have a high bandwidth it costs money.
Yeah it’s bare essentials, it’s free so...
this was hilarious 😂😂😂
keep making these noob style tutorials 👍
I couldn't find my country (IRAN) at step one, someone tells google that we exist.
Google it?
Thanks!!
You get that screen for free, or get it by running ads on your videos?
I wonder how many instances oh those i can have before they start charging, any thoughts on that?
Trial period is only good for 90 days AND you have to submit CREDIT CARD details !

@@AdrianTwarog To access the Free Tier option, you have to be signed into the Free Trial option first, and that means forking over credit card information - even so, it's only good for 90 days.

Correcto!

Ayyyy
what desktop monitor is theism
Move your mouse down and click like 😅😅 ❤ i thought it was part of instructions to get free server. Love bro thanks for the great contents
Does this method ask for credit card info?
I think most of the platform service on google might be asking those for verification these days
Yes it does
does this work in 2021 ? how'd one monetize this to get 350$ per week ?
just 3 months then it's over
2021 september, does this still work? I saw 3 month trial only
just 3 months then it's over
What could be done with cloud ?
This is a trial version, you won't get it forever?
Just right click at the terminal and the text will be pasted 👍🏻
Question I want to use the server but I had the free trail already it expired can I sign up for the free trail again
It is under free tier for use indefinitely, without using any credit, I might not have explained properly in the video :)

$407.77 in credits @ $4.28 monthly = 95 months or a little less than 8 years. Is that correct? My cc will never be billed until then?
I might not have properly said this, the T1 micro is a special case that stays on the free tier regardless
