Is there a such thing as a free VPS?

[blood.fm]

I don't need a good server, but I do need something that will be able to handle TightVNC, wine, Chakra (OS) and Blockland. Also, I've seen the google results for the VPS that are free, they are terrible, to the point of being unusable.

So, /help.

Doubt it, but I pay $4 a month for one powerful enough to host a website, teamspeak, and Garry's Mod server 24/7. I once tried a $1/m VPS that was sufficient enough to host a website but it only had like 64mb of RAM so that's basically all I could do with it.

Well, I might as well buy a box that could meet my expectations or maybe a Raspberry Pi, but I'd have to host it on my home network and that means I'd be prone to denial of service attacks among other things.

EDIT: I can't even afford to pay monthly, quarterly or yearly, no matter the price. Is there anyway I can pay one time?

um
no
that doesn't even make sense
if you think you can afford a $100 one-time payment then you can also afford a $100 yearly payment, you just need to cancel it when the time is right. depending on who you chose to buy it from and how shady they are, cancelling that might mean cancelling the entire subscription, in which case you'd want to wait until the last day

I don't understand why people expect something like this to be free. it's not free to run them, so why on earth would it be free for you to use them?

Most services let you pay ahead. I did $24 at once so I wouldn't have to worry about it for a year.

You can't afford monthly but you can afford more for a one time payment??
Just get a monthly one and cancel it

there are free VPSes but they're limited in functionality and whatever you'd probably want to be doing, you won't be able to
