How to Host a FREE Website on Google Cloud Platform

Please make a similar video on website with next.js

Tony, thank you so much for creating this and many other easy to follow "techno-educational" videos! I am wondering if you can point me to a video or any other guidance on how can I host my spare MacBook Air (MBA) as a server for creating and running website (and other uses such as Postgres SQL server)? I understand that I need to get a static ip address to host the MBA server on the internetI, but am not able to find clear instructions anywhere.

incredible

So this works for a month right

If i use ads how many days it's run ? Can I make 1 day ads only

How do you save after editing .conf file? Thanks

Excellent video. Although Google Cloud has many capabilities, I would choose Oracle Cloud for hosting a free WordPress website because of their provision of 200 GB storage, 1 GB memory, and an AMD processor under free tier.

Hi Tony, have been following you for quite some time. Thank you for your great work.

I have hosted my website using GCP free credits, but now want to downgrade to minimize my monthly billing - could you help me know

1. How to move VM to a new region
2. Is it possible to host it for free in 2023 because of I don't see the free hours as of now based on your suggested steps

Thank you!

PLS give me ur email easy for me ask u please guide me slowly

hello tony CAN I GIVE U EMAIL ? I WANT ASK SOMETHINGS ?

very good, got it done 3hrs. nginx gave errors for conf file. suggest to manually go to sites-available and sites-enabled and sudo rm everything there then create a conf file with vim and do the simlink ( as beginner took like 2hrs to get past this step ). Now working thanks very much great video.

I don't know if I can do that, any beginner manage to get it setup?

QQ is it possible to combine the hosting of multiple sites as in your other video? I have a bunch of friends and family sites on my VPS server so I looking for a cheaper way to park those WP sites.

excellent step by step tutorial
i am not a geek but i made it to the end 🙏

Thanks for the great tutorial!

This is an INSANE helpful tutorial! I think @google should add this to their tutorial database.
Thank you so much!

502 Bad Gateway error

Getting stuck at the text edit portion. How to I exit and save?

It looks like the free tier changed to E2, is going to make a difference between N1 and E2?

is it Life Time Free ??

1 G.B bandwidth is actually a drawback

You deserve a +1 subscribe and +1 like. Very good tutorial. I've been using GKE to deploy my stateful web app. Everything worked fine, except the .htaccess redirection. I was using Apache. I could not figure out how to solve this problem, for weeks! I tried your simpler solution to use google compute engine and everything works fine. Thanks.

CLI is more difficult for setup configuration then GUI, Can I setup in visual interface

عالی استاد

1GB of traffic is not a whole lot... Just web crawlers will probably eat a huge chunk of that.

How popular would a blog need to get to reach the free limits? I know it takes years of work to get a blog going but I am just thinking to save a headache later I can just pay for hosting now lol. My fear is Google Hosting might be expensive if I brake the free tier limits. Does anyone have an answer that isn't too techy. Like how many visitors to my site would make me go over the free tier bandwidth?

Thank you Tony for this awesome video, after that for me it was relative easy to setup a google cloud vm. I use the e2 vm with 2pu+2gb ram, on Hesti apanel with apache-nginx. But my worldwide ttfb speed is slow between 500-900ms - I wonder this vm should be fast at 200ms what is wrong there? Have a nice day !

If this was a guide on how to create a webpage for Welcome to nginx! Then you succeeded. For Wordpress not so much :(

Is this free for 1 year or free for ever ??

If you don't have a domain name use the IP instead. Also remove default link file from /etc/nginx/sites-enabled if you want to get wordpress home page

My panel dont have this message "your first 744 hours of f1-micro are free"
Its not going to be free for me right?

Excellent!!! Excellent!!!! Excellent !!!! Great job Bro!!!!

for the command: systemctl restart nginx I am getting the feedback: "Authentication is required to restart 'nginx.service'. Authenticating as: Ubuntu (ubuntu). None of the passwords I set work here--did I mess something else up earlier?

Thank you Tony, worked like a dream 🙌

i think your video is outdated because the gcp has a whole different user interface @tony Teaches Tech

For what are the 300$ trial credits

Hello, i have a LMS website my students can register and buy any course they want, but currently i'm using AWS s3 storage with s3bubble player to stream the video content through my website pages with a high level of security that block any one to download or screen record any video from the website.
now i'm building a new website like the old one but i want to ask if google cloud storage offer the same layer of security the any one cannot download or screen record any video or image and do they offer "pay as you go" pricing for video streaming??
Thank you in advanced

Many thanks! Is it possible to create more than one VM Instances which meet these free tier conditions and will be free of charge?

Why would you need to do all the SSH routines. Google cloud already deploys WP and the entire OS. Am i missing something here?

Is this free forever still available?

is this still available from GCP ? I got to the the point that shows the "$5.08/month", but it doesn’t say anything about the first 744 hours being free.Not sure if I am doing something wrong or it is not available anymore.

Great video man, helps a lot. Is it possible to host the domains emails too? How would one do that?

its showing vim command not found what to do?
