Vultr is lauching the "free-tier" program! Be an early applicant!

Vultr is a is a well-known cloud hosting provider that offers scalable cloud computing services to businesses and individuals. Vultr offers a wide range of cloud hosting services, including Virtual Private Servers (VPS), dedicated servers, GPU servers and block storage.

Recently, Vultr announced the launch of their new "free-tier" program, aimed at "democratizing access to the cloud for everyone". This program will allow users to access a high-performance cloud virtual machine completely free of charge, making it a perfect environment for building and testing before deploying at scale.

Vultr's free-tier program is an excellent way to compete with big cloud providers that already offer attractive free-tier plans. It is designed to attract and retain users who are just starting out with the cloud.

Plan Specifications

The free-tier plan offers a virtual private server with the following requirements:

  • 1 vCPU

  • 0.5 GB RAM

  • 10GB Disk

  • 2 TB of free global bandwidth

This is the smallest server that Vultr offers and it will also include an IPV4 address. With these resources, you’ll have enough computing power at your disposal to prototype and run small-scale websites and web applications. However, it's worth noting that the VPS will only be available in specific data center locations.
