🌍 About FreeVPS.edu.pl

FreeVPS.edu.pl is a nonprofit initiative providing free Virtual Private Servers (VPS) for students and developers. Our goal is to lower the barriers to entry in cloud computing and server management by offering resources at no cost to those who need them most.

🎯 Our Mission

We believe education and innovation should be accessible to everyone. By offering free VPS resources, we empower students and developers to:

• Learn server administration hands-on
• Experiment with web hosting, cloud tools, and open-source software
• Contribute to real-world projects without financial barriers
• Build a stronger foundation for careers in IT, DevOps, and software engineering

✅ Eligibility Requirements

To ensure resources reach the right people, VPS access is limited to:

• Students – Must verify using a valid .edu email address or equivalent proof of enrollment.
• Developers – Especially those working on educational or open-source projects.

We do not provide VPS resources for commercial hosting or profit-driven projects.

⚙️ How It Works

1. Create an Account – Register with your email.
2. Submit a Request – Choose the VPS size that matches your learning or project needs.
3. Eligibility Check – Students verify via .edu email; developers may need to show project details.
4. Approval & Access – Once approved, you’ll receive VPS credentials via email.
5. Start Building – Deploy apps, test code, or practice server management.
