Free tier	no free tier; the entry plan is JPY 1,265 a month for 2 GB unit none; metered on none
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	monthly; the server persists while paid
Egress	no traffic quota was read on the product page free_allowance: unstated
Identity	card (placeholder) unverified: the product and price pages were read, the signup path was not. The vendor is Japanese-language only and the order form is on a separate domain (secure.xserver.ne.jp), so a card and probably a Japanese phone are involved; neither is documented here
Limits	volume-quota traffic allowance not read source The free instance survives at most 24 hours and must be renewed by hand from the control panel each day
Binding	none the price binds: there is no shape at this vendor under USD 5 a month
Interface	unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	Nothing chains, because no new account can be opened: the value of the record is that a Japanese reader who saw ' VPS' in 2025 arrives at a closed door in 2026.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The lead was worth closing: XServer is one of the largest Japanese hosts and its floor is above the line. No under-USD-5 shape exists, so nothing here can qualify whatever the identity terms are.
Evidence rung	documented price and shape from the vendor's product page today; identity explicitly unverified

XServer VPS free plan Egress and tunnels

Free tier	[translated] 'A completely free VPS service. There is no initial cost and no monthly payment, so you can use a domestic VPS casually.' The plan table lists a 2 GB and a 4 GB free VPS at 0 yen per month. unit unlimited; metered on unstated
Price	JPY 0 per month on the free plan; paid plans from JPY 792 per month
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	[translated] 0 yen per month for the 2 GB and 4 GB plans. No traffic allowance is stated on the page. The contract-renewal row says 'manual renewal (every 1 day)' for the free plans against 'automatic renewal' for the paid ones.; ingress: tcp+udp free_allowance: none published
Identity	card [translated] 'A credit card must be registered to use this service.'
Limits	write-gated [translated] 'manual renewal (every 1 day)' on the free plans; the paid plans renew automatically source
Binding	write-gated A control-panel action every day stands between the client and the server surviving. That is a manual act, not a byte count, so it binds before any volume does. It is also moot today: the signup button for the free plans reads 'not accepting applications'.
Interface	ssh, cli, rest [translated] 50+ OS and application images install automatically when the order completes; the panel restarts and reinstalls the guest.
Tooling	wg-quick inside the guest; SSH; the panel installs an OS or app image at order time
Composes with	If it reopens: a free Japanese root guest is the endpoint for everything else in this topic, and the daily renewal is the one job it needs.
Reliability	Daily manual renewal with deletion on a missed day; the page's own footnote says an automatic detection system may throttle guests that load the host excessively.
Notes	Read carefully because it looked like the answer: a Japanese 0-yen VPS with a root guest would pass the ingress test outright. Two facts kill it. The signup is closed ('not accepting applications'). And the renewal row means the server is deleted unless a human clicks a renewal every day, which no unattended workload survives. Country: Japan. The free plan carries 50 GB of disk standard with a 500 GB option per the page footnotes.
Evidence rung	documented The 0 yen price, the card requirement, the daily manual renewal and the closed signup are all on the vendor page read on 2026-10-23. What no page establishes is whether a free guest gets a public IPv4; a probe would. Applications may reopen, which would make this the strongest Japanese free host.
