Details
Oracle Cloud offers free servers to its users. According to this account, a beginner with no prior server experience applied once, got approved without any special requirements, and secured a 4-core, 24 GB memory server.
Registration requires a card that supports international payments. The user used a China Merchants Bank (招商银行) Mastercard, which has no special issuance requirements. Turn off your VPN when signing up, and use a local email address to avoid issues receiving the verification email. After creating an account, upgrade to a paid account and run an open-source program (software made publicly available for anyone to download and use) to secure a 4-core, 24 GB memory server.
Servers with these specifications are not available in quantities that can be secured immediately upon application, and whether you succeed in securing one depends on luck. The name and link of the open-source program used, as well as the application deadline, need to be confirmed.
