Strengths
- Always-free e2-micro plus a $300 / 90-day credit makes it easy to trial
- 40+ regions across six continents, including South America, Africa and the Middle East
- Arm (T2A) and shared-core to 8-vCPU choices with per-second billing and no minimum term
Trade-offs
- Compute is only part of the bill: disk, external IPv4 and internet egress are all extra, so small VPS workloads cost far more than flat-rate hosts
- Burstable e2-micro/small/medium share CPU with a low baseline
- Trustpilot reviews are few and negative, typically around billing and account suspensions
