Free VPS - Which Providers Won't Scam You? [Top Providers]

Free VPS seems to be advertised everywhere but is any of it actually real? Well, I've investigated a lot of these so-called three VPS providers to determine which ones are real and which ones are fake in short I've wasted my time so you wouldn't have to. Let's see how it went. I've only found several legit providers but let me start this horror story that is free VPS from the beginning. And, let's make it all spooky because why not :D I've began my search by googling for free VPS as I was slowly descending to the bottom of the Google search results I began to realize what I got myself into.

Because, in general if you have to scroll this far down to get what you're looking for you're going to have a bad time. First result that seemed to offer free VPS was VPSserver.com sadly it only offered seven day trials and they require you to send photos of your ID for manual account activation I had no interest in exposing my personal documents to a website I know very little about so I continued searching. VPSwala.org was next in line at first glance VPSwala.org looks like a legit provider they have several plans to choose from and just happens to be that one of them is free. However, my best guess is that they're a data farm or just a scam abandoned by its creators that now exists absolutely without purpose. All of their plans are fake you can't even buy a paid plan if you want to because there is no way to choose a payment option and any attempt to get the free plan results in an error. So, at this point I thought that Google search results just won't cut it most of the articles or blogs promote flat out scams or hard to get trials so I should have done the only thing a sane person would do which is stop but I guess I am NOT a sane person because I just went to Reddit and tried my luck there. So, I found some old posts by old I mean like 2 or 3 years old by now that promote cloudrino.net the website is still up and running so I thought maybe they're legit to survive this long. Upon registering you get put into a huge queue the only way to move up the queue is to refer more people to sign up for cloudrino.net and that is why this service is so heavily promoted everyone's just sharing their referral links in hopes of getting free VPS. But, I've actually found absolutely no proof that anyone got a free VPS from cloudrino.net in the two or three years that it's existed. However, I was able to

find a friend who registered for the service maybe a year ago and he's still in the queue and I don't think it even moved at all so your chances of getting a free VPS with cloudrino.net zero. Nevertheless I kept searching and found myself on woomhost.com they seem to offer free linux and windows VPS services however woomhost needs you to refer 7 or 10 people to their website and those people need to buy their services I've checked out the Trustpilot page and it seems to be filled with fake reviews the only bad review mentioned how a client paid for a service that he never received so I would be very cautious buying anything from woomhost especially if you're going to promote it to your friends  which they need to spend money to get you a free VPS which might or might not be a scam. Don't do it :D. At this point it was quite clear that there's no way in hell am I getting a free VPS without some sort of a gimmick like referring my friends winning a contest or getting manually approved by a service that has a high chance of stealing my data but there were still options available and I really wanted to find a free VPS. So, I found this website called Post4VPS you can participate in forum discussions and you'll have a chance to win one of their Virtual Private Servers each month. There are some strict rules about the quality of your posts the amount of posts you have to make and stuff like that. For me personally this is a bit too time-consuming and you'll never guaranteed a VPS service however if you're into forums and discussions this can be something you can look into further I decided to look elsewhere. And, at this point I was getting a little desperate so desperate in fact that I even checked out the second page of Google search results. So, the story continues. And, as you might know the second page of Google search results is often dark and full errors. One of those terrors that I've encountered was GratisVPS.net and GratisVPS.net was by far the worst offender I've found so far they bait you in with the promise of free VPS then you go through a fake setup process and they tell you that to unlock your password you need to watch some ads anytime you click anywhere on this page a pop-up ad opens. These range anywhere from cars to gambling to

pornography obviously there never was such a thing as a password for their free VPS or the free VPS in the first place GratisVPS is a pure ad farm that's just looking to scam you any way possible. And, any website that I found after that was basically just a repeat of the previous ones usually just a little bit worse so I won't even bother showing them here's a complete list of everything that did not work. I even found some scam websites that were cloning other scam websites and trying to replicate the same scam Okay so we've covered pretty much everything that does not work. However, what does actually work? The only thing that I could personally find that didn't try to scam the crap out of me at every corner were the trial accounts that are offered by Amazon, Microsoft or Google. I chose the one that Amazon is offering because a one a year trial is a pretty long time. And, I get full control together with root access. The biggest problem is that setting one of these accounts up is a little bit troublesome so to save myself some headache and a lot of time I finally caved in. I started using

A2Hosting and their $5.00 VPS starter plans. It was just so much easier and the price I was paying was almost negligible merely five dollars per month. And, even worst case scenario  you can get your money back with their 30-day money-back guarantee so it's kind of free I would say. But, at least A2Hosting is a reputable provider that won't cost you an arm and the leg. If you want to go even cheaper than that you can take a look at Hostwinds. Their plans start at $4.49 per month while this isn't free at least you'll be guaranteed that you're getting a quality and secure service that won't go down, they won't delete your data and they won't try to sell your personal information. I'll be adding links to both A2Hosting and Hostwinds down in the description below full disclosure I might make a commission if you buy their services through my link but is how I support the channel without the need of advertisers or sponsors. So, that's it for this video and if you find any more free VPS services that do actually work feel free to leave them in the comments down be

low for other people to find. And, I wish

you luck finding your free VPS service.
