| Identity | card a payment method registered plus real-name mobile verification, and Korean residence for the free server: the credit event page says the KRW 100,000 credit applies only after registering a payment method, and the record's limits row states the account is real-name verified by mobile phone; the one-year free Micro Server is offered "only if the country of residence is Korea", and the signup form asks for country of residence, member type and language. The record does not state which cards the Korean signup accepts, any hold, or debit or prepaid acceptance. The student Green Rookie credit separately needs a partner-institution email address |
| Egress | not stated |
| Interface | unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed |
| Tooling | not stated |
| Composes with | A KRW 100,000 credit over 3 months buys roughly a small Standard server for part of that window, and the 1-year Micro Server that would make it a real host is closed to non-residents, so the credit is a sandbox rather than a host. |
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
| Notes | The credit is live on the separate event page. Two live pages disagree on the size (KRW 100,000 vs 'up to KRW 300,000'), and neither explains the gap; the 300,000 figure appeared in a 2022 blog post as a 200,000+100,000 stack, so the 300,000 is probably an older promotion left up. The KRW 200,000 Green Rookie credit and the exam voucher are for students and staff of a participating institution, which is an institution gate rather than a trial any account can start. |

| Free tier | [translated] 'One Micro Server can be created per person. Free use for one year from the moment payment information is registered. A Micro Server not returned when the free period ends is billed automatically. However, this is provided only when the country of residence is Korea.' unit hours; metered on wall-clock |
|---|---|
| Price | KRW 0 for one year for a Korean resident; billed after that |
| Binding | none The account is refused before any quota is reached: a Korean residence is the first constraint and no byte allowance matters behind it. |
| Identity | national-id [translated] 'However, this is provided only when the country of residence is Korea.' The page adds: 'If you register payment information after signing up, you can create a Micro Server', so a payment method is a second gate behind the residence one. The 200,000 won Green Rookie credit goes further and requires an email at a partner Korean school or university. |
| Egress | [translated] One year of a Micro Server, one per person. No traffic allowance is stated for it on the page. The separate new-signup credit is '100,000 won of discount credit, valid for 3 months'.; ingress: tcp+udp free allowance: none published |
| Interface | rest, cli, ssh [translated] The console creates the server; the platform documents an API and CLI for its services. |
| Tooling | console and API (the platform ships an OpenAPI and CLI); WireGuard would run in the guest |
| Composes with | Unreachable, so it chains with nothing. |
| Reliability | The free server is billed automatically if not returned at the end of the year; the discount credit expires after three months and cannot be applied to products that already have a free period. |
| Notes | A free Korean VPS for a year with no card charge would be the answer to Korean question, and the country clause closes it. The page also carries a 300-man won credit promotion on a separate micro site, which is a trial credit requiring a payment method, not a free tier. Country: South Korea. The Green Rookie route needs a partner-institution email address, which is the same wall in a different shape. |
| Evidence note | documented The residence restriction is a vendor sentence on the credit-event page read on 2026-10-23. What would change the verdict is a Korean residence, which a user does not have; nothing measurable on the network side would. |
