Is it possible to get a Free VPS ? 2020

Getting a free vps in 2020 is not easy as it used to be 5-6 years ago. Those old days there were do many free vps providers. Today I see only one which has survived from those old times. Rest of them are long gone. Even some of those providers which I believed would last much longer vanished. Well they didn't just vanished like most of the minor free vps providers but announced their closer and shut down the service.

It's not that easy to run a Free VPS service. It's lot easy to provide free shared hosting but Servers are a whole different story. You can get just one VPS and provide 100's of free shared hosting accounts. But that doesn't work same way for servers. First of all each VPS needs a unique IP Address. These cost at least 1 usd per month. So provider offer 50 servers that cost at least 50 usd per month minimum. Also there are other costs like for dedicate server. So it rarely a sustainable service.

Only way to have a sustainable and long running free VPS service is finding sponsors for that. VPS providers who could offer couple of free servers and in returning getting more exposure for their brand names. Banner Ads and a backlink from user websites.

Even this becoming not easy since smaller web hosting providers finding it harder and harder to complete with big hosting companies. Smaller providers getting thrown out of the market since they have hard time offering competitive prices and keep the business floating.

So Today, Only Free VPS Provider out there which has been around for a while is Post4VPS.com which has been doing quite well. They do offer dozen or so servers in monthly give aways. There are several requirements, Once you complete those you can apply for a VPS. If you are lucky enough to win one from the give away you need to make 20 quality posts per month in their forum.

It's a pretty good offer since there are many good servers. YOu can get VPS from 4GB / 8GB to smaller servers with 1GB or less. There are servers from many locations too. Most of these VPS use SSD space. Maybe let you run game servers.

It's quite a far deal getting a server which would cost you at least 5 usd per month just for 20 posts in a forum. How hard it is to make 20 posts in 30 days? So anyone who wants to have free vps should check the site.
