| Free tier | '1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM und 20 GB SSD - kostenlos nach Admin-Freigabe' and '0,00 € dauerhaft kostenlos'. The page's own plan object gives cores 1, memory_mb 1024, disk_gb 20, ipv4 1, ipv6 1, runtime_days 30, price_cents 0, is_free true, is_free_unique 1. unit none; metered on none |
|---|
| Price | none stated |
|---|
| Limits | - volume-quota one free server per account (is_free_unique 1) source
- retention-clamped runtime_days 30 on the free plan, unexplained source
- write-gated (binding) manual administrator approval before the server is released source
|
|---|
| Binding | write-gated Every application passes a human administrator before any machine exists, so the first thing that can fail is the approval, not the machine. |
|---|
| Identity | email no card and no payment data: the FAQ states the free package 'erfordert keine Zahlungsdaten'. The registration form asks full name (explicitly 'Bitte keinen Nickname verwenden'), optional company, street and number, postcode, city, two-letter country, email and password. No phone, no document, no card field. |
|---|
| Egress | not published: neither the free-server page, the FAQ, the terms nor the plan object states a traffic allowance or a port speed for the free plan |
|---|
| Per-object cap | one free server per account: the plan object carries 'is_free_unique': 1 |
|---|
| Retention | The plan object carries 'runtime_days': 30, which the free-server page does not explain. The FAQ says the free package is 'dauerhaft kostenlos' and the pricing phase note says free KVM servers are released 'sofort nach kurzer Prüfung'. Whether the 30 days are a renewal cycle or a hard term is not stated on any page read, so the persistence of the machine past day 30 is unverified. |
|---|
| Interface | ssh, rest KVM virtualisation with root, a browser console ('Konsole im Browser'), a customer portal at /dashboard and a support ticket system; the plan object sets 'hosting_provider': 'proxmox' and 'provider_mode': 'live' |
|---|
| Tooling | any SSH client; the vendor's web portal |
|---|
| Composes with | A real KVM guest with root and one IPv4 plus one IPv6 on a German host, which is the shape a WireGuard node or a cron-driven health monitor needs without a card on file. |
|---|
| Reliability | No reliability event observed. |
|---|
| Notes | The strongest niche find: a real KVM guest with root, one IPv4 and one IPv6, no card, from a named German sole trader with an imprint, a phone number, a GitHub organisation and a status page. Two things are unresolved. First, runtime_days 30 on the free plan is not explained anywhere read, and it is the difference between a permanent machine and a one-month one; the fix is one approved account watched past day 30, which cannot do because it must not register. Second, the FAQ says 10 GB NVMe where the plan page says 20 GB SSD. Neither the egress allowance nor a port speed is published at all. The docs subdomain returned HTTP 530 on both read and fetch, and the browser navigation to it killed the page process, so the documentation route is unread rather than absent. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented Shape, price and the absence of payment data are quoted from the vendor's own free-server page, FAQ and plan JSON read. Egress, the meaning of runtime_days and whether the machine is actually released are not established by any page read, so the row is documented about what is offered and unverified about what is delivered. |
