The site advertises a 2 vCPU / 2 GB / 2 TB / 30-day VPS with no card, and it has no way to sign up: every call to action is an empty fragment, /signup and /register return 404, and no control-panel host resolves. The only external hosts linked from the page are gratisvps.net and a gratisvps.net blog post, so the two sites share an author, and the corpus already records gratisvps.net as fails-identity with reports of an SMS wall and an ad-click requirement. The plan card, the terms and the privacy page are all internally consistent and well written, which is what makes it read as a real offer in a listicle. Recorded as `dead` because there is no route to a machine, not because the site is down: the pages serve 200 and say the right things.","extras":{"shape":{"vcpu":2,"ram_gib":2,"disk_gib":null,"gpu_class":null,"gpu_count":null,"note":"as advertised on the plan card; no disk size is stated, only 'NVMe storage'"},"billing_model":"free","term":"30 days advertised","m10h_usd":0,"m24h_usd":0,"price_arithmetic":"USD 0.00 as advertised; unreachable, so no rate applies","free_tier_kind":"trial","network_out":{"allow_outbound":true,"allow_inbound_listen":null,"ports":"advertised 'Root / administrator access'; no port policy published","static_ip":null,"ipv6":null,"per_session_bytes":"2 TB advertised"},"session_cap":{"wall_clock_min":43200,"idle_reap_s":null,"restart_required":false,"note":"30 days advertised, then suspended and deleted after 48 hours"},"signup_url":"https://freevpstrial.net/","signup_note":"no working signup route exists: every CTA on the page is '#' and /signup and /register both 404","credit_usd":null,"credit_hours_at_shape":null,"card_hold_usd":null,"payment_methods":"none advertised for the trial"}},"claims":[{"path":"$.extras.m10h_usd","kind":"price","num":0.0,"unit":null,"per":"month","currency":"USD","usd":0.0,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.extras.m24h_usd","kind":"price","num":0.0,"unit":null,"per":"month","currency":"USD","usd":0.0,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.free_tier.stated","kind":"free-quota","num":2.0,"unit":"GB","per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.limits[0].value","kind":"limit:write-gated","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.limits[1].value","kind":"limit:retention-clamped","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.limits[2].value","kind":"limit:volume-quota","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.limits[3].value","kind":"limit:per-ip-shaping","num":2.0,"unit":"TB","per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"}],"unknown":[],"history":[],"drift":[]}]}
