Lot of sales for 4th of july (and ongoing ones) where you can pay $10-$14 for a YEAR of a small cheap VPS. Usually only has 1GB of memory, but that's plenty to play around with and learn. If nothing else, a good cheap ipv4 you can use for some port forwarding. There are lots of options, but I've used racknerd and ethernetservers which have been fine.

I have my own server at home, but I bought two small ones to start learning Ansible with in a risk free way. Eventually plan to redo my main server with a complete Ansible setup, really want to hop on that "infrastructure as code" train.

Get a free oracle cloud account. 24GB RAM 200GB disk 4 core CPU for free. 5gbps connection, IPv4 and 6. I run all of my stuff that I want running outside of my house there and run everything else on my proxmox cluster.

As someone who once had to work with Oracle databases and licensing as a part of their job, i will never willingly use another Oracle product.

Friends don't let friends use Oracle.

I've seen a few comments from people who've had their Oracle free tier accounts deleted with no warning.

Problem is Oracle sometimes just hates people, so declines all attempts to get the Free Tier.

I know from experience
