Vultr Free Tier Program
Vultr's Free Tier Program grants selected applicants a permanently free VM
What you get from Vultr Free Tier Program for free
Overview
Vultr runs a Free Tier Program that provides eligible applicants with a free Cloud Compute instance. Access is not automatic: you request early access from your Vultr account, and accounts are admitted in phases through a randomized, weighted selection.
Free Instance Specs
- 1 vCPU
- 512 MB RAM
- 10 GB SSD
- 1 IPv4 address
- 2 TB of global bandwidth per month
- Available in Miami, Seattle, and Frankfurt
The instance is deployed from Cloud Compute > Regular > Free Instance and can later be resized to a larger paid plan.
How to Get Started
- Create a Vultr account at vultr.com.
- Open the Free Tier Program page and submit the early-access request with as much detail as possible.
- After admission, deploy the free instance and build.
Vultr publishes no hard end date for the program; fit it to prototyping and small workloads rather than production.
Before you claim
- Startups verification: Confirm your company details (age, funding, or website) to claim.
- Payment card: Not needed.
- Account: Sign up with the provider.
Key limits
- 1 instance: 1 vCPU / 512 MB RAM / 10 GB SSD
- 2 TB of global bandwidth per month
- Deploy under Cloud Compute > Regular > Free Instance
- Access granted in phases via randomized, weighted selection; apply from your Vultr account
Eligibility & Selection
- Anyone can apply.
- Access is granted on a randomized basis using a weighted score computed during identity and usage validation; the more detail you provide about yourself and your intended use, the higher the score and the better the odds.
- This is an early-access roll-out with limited quantities per region, and Vultr gives priority to business email sign-ups.
- Vultr does not share its verification criteria, and admission is not guaranteed.
- Applicants are notified by email and in the Vultr console; the free instance then appears on the deploy page.
