Setup your own free tier web server using Google Clouds 'Always Free' tier resources. It's pretty quick to build a small and simple webserver to run things like WordPress using

https://ideaspot.com.au/blog/cloudflare-hestia-setup/

The free tier documentation we referenced is here:
https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/gcp-free-tier

Anything listed as 'free tier' does not get billed, even when your 90 day trial is over, so our vCPU, memory, drive and 1GB network traffic is free forever.

If you're interested in setting up a mailbox on here, you can follow the steps in our previous HestiaCP video here:

For your SMTP service, my preferred free option is SendinBlue: https://ideaspot.com.au/sendinblue

Another nice free option is using x10hosting, which we setup here: https://youtu.be/sKqjRz9zoog

For those of you wanting to combine this method with Cloudflare, check our tutorial here for some more tips: https://youtu.be/BK7qyPa-VmI

Cloudflare + Hestia Video is back up - the old one got auto deleted because I tried to add links into it after it went live - annoying 😅
Anyway, this one is a bit smoother to follow and improves a few issues from the first video too 👍

Hello Alex. My name is IVO MAIOLI, from Brazil!
Good morning! Congratulations on this incredible series of videos about ORACLE services.

First, I'd like to thank you for your assistance, and I'd like to request your help with a procedure I'm not sure how to perform on a FREE TIER instance I have on ORACLE CLOUD for my studies, following some of your excellent tutorials.
I have an instance of the 'VM.Standard.A1.Flex' type with 1 OCPU and 12GB of RAM. It has Ubuntu 20.04 as its image.
Question: How can I "reformat" this instance? I want to 'reset' this image while keeping the instance intact and maintaining the same Ubuntu version - returning it to its original state by deleting everything on it. Is this possible? I appreciate your response.

Love your content - but I was wondering if you can look into OCI's "user permissions and SMTP credentials"? There is a tutorial on OCI Doc's but I don't know how to integrate to Hestia mail. I use Cloudflare along with my setup. Than you!

Thanks for this amazing guide. Everything works great except for incoming mail. I'm able to send mail and also receive mail from same domain but I am not receiving mail from outside, for example from gmail and hotmail. Does this not work anymore?

I just did this tutorial, and the SSL keys generated by Cloudflare work, but it says "issued by: Google Trust Services", not Cloudflare. Also says they expire in about 3 months. Do they auto update?

Your Accent, is that from South Australia? because it does not sound like NSW or Queensland, maybe Victoria, NO!, But who cares, NSW is the place, isn't it? LOL!
