Hi, i am considering moving my project from aws to Oracle free forever server. (They offer 1 server for free forever). I know that they delete the server randomly sometimes. So we might sometimes lose all our data. Here is what i want to know, from those who have previously used Oracle Free Forever server:

  1. In my case it is a Analytics server. So i dont mind losing the current data sometimes
  2. It also have auto backup and stuff. Again dont mind if they randomly delete it

Can i manually re-create the server after they delete it? Also it will be free right? And like any other issues that i should be aware of? How often does this Random deletion of server happens?

    Unrelated to your question, but do you get cost estimates while setting up the VM? I tried setting one up a while back but, despite picking all the free settings, it still estimated a cost of $2 per month. It never asked for CC info, but it still felt off.
