You only get 1CPU (probably heavily limited), 512MB of RAM and 10GB of storage.<p>This is basically the AWS micro instance which you get for free:
&quot;AWS Free Tier includes 750 hours of Linux and Windows t2.micro instances each month for one year&quot; (If you want it free for life, just create another AWS account ;)).<p>These instances are way to limited to run anything even remotely intensive at best you&#x27;ll be able to use it as some VPN&#x2F;Proxy or a small scale hosted VOIP server, but what more often than not will happen is that tons of people (hopefully) will register pay the 35$ and never use them, this is pretty much the Gym membership business model.<p>With thin provisioning at the fact that at best one out of 10 registered instances will actually be used they can make a huge profit, especially in the short term and considering that with how hardware scales overtime and the fact that more of the few actual users that they&#x27;ll on board that would actually use that instance will drop off as time passes, it will become exponentially cheaper for them to support this type of business model with time.<p>This is a pretty ingenious quick cash grab if they&#x27;ll manage to attract a large amount of people because 2 years down the line they&#x27;ll probably could support their entire actual user base with a few RasPi&#x27;s in a broom closet some where (And yes I&#x27;m aware that you can purchase much bigger VPS&#x27;s from them for a much higher (onetime) cost, but the overall premise still stands)....
