Anyone know any Free VPS providers?
 
Looking for free VPS if anyone has any recomendations.

What's the use case ? How much processor power, memory, disk, bandwidth do you need ?

It's just to run Mass Planner(1 account) as mentioned in previous thread.
I just need an always on machine.

Your best bet is a $5 droplet at either Digital Ocean or Vultr.

Another solution is to not use Mass Planner and use Buffer on the $10 Awesome plan - then you won't need hosting at all.

Why would anyone give you a free VPS? What would be the point for the service provider?

Why would anyone do free hosting? Or free anythingbut they do...

To make money. Think about it for a moment. What on earth is provided to you by a company that is really free ?

None of these are really free.

Thunderbird is a product of Mozilla Corporation which is a subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla makes about $300 million from search revenues. It's also supported by donations. Just because you might not shell out any cash to use Thunderbird, you are paying for it in other ways.

Google Drive, Maps & Earth are not free. They are part of the Google ecosystem which makes most of it's money through advertising. However when you use Drive, Maps and Earth you are actually paying through your own data. You essentially become the product. Google sells usage data, demographic data and other kinds of data for various reasons but one of those reasons is so other companies can use that data to target you for their commercial gain.

Facebook is not free, with Facebook you are the product, your data is valuable and Facebook makes a lot of money from it. It's also ad supported and while you may say that you don't look at the ads, unwittingly they contribute to your buying decisions.

If a company gives you something then it expects something back. You might not make a direct payment for the service or product, but you are definitely paying for it.

Well that's fine. I will accept a VPS that makes it's money in other ways or uses ads that I will block or ignore.
Actually I have no idea what a VPS is and have never used one. Figured it would be worthwhile investigating if it was free.

I've given you two options that are $5 a month.

However I think for what you're trying to do that Buffer is the better option, you will not need a server because it's SaaS.

Mass Planner + VPS = ~$15 per month minimum
BufferApp = $10 a month
