Free tier	Site claim, quoted: "2 vCPU and 2 GB RAM", "KVM", "No card, no trial that expires into a bill", three regions, since 2013. Multiple independent reports describe an SMS-verification wall and an ad-click requirement with no credentials issued. unit GiB; metered on wall-clock; none
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	not stated
Identity	any-phone no card, but a phone wall: the site claims "No card, no trial that expires into a bill", while users report an SMS verification step after the VPS is created, one of them producing a machine but never a password, and reviews describe a requirement to click advertising links to activate. The record does not state which numbers the SMS check accepts, which is why the kind is any-phone rather than country-phone; no hold or authorisation is stated, and debit or prepaid do not arise because no card is taken
Binding	none Independent reports say the deployment never yields a root password after the SMS step, so the capacity exists only as a claim; the site also asks users to click advertising links to activate service.
Interface	ssh inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	Nothing, because the machine is not issued. Any chain through it fails at provisioning.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The site's own page is well written and states the parameters plainly, which is why it keeps appearing in listicles. Two independent user reports plus a review site plus a hidden WHOIS is enough to record it as non-delivering rather than to repeat 2 vCPU as capacity. One testimonial blog claims a 30-day run with a live Discord bot; it is unverifiable and reads as promotional.
