Before I get a job, I'm experimenting with a free VPS - Will it work? help? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

So I'm trying freevps.edu.pl to run a Lemmy/PieFed server. It's not working so far. My server is left on pending and no matter how I try to activate it, it doesn't work. It claims to have "instant" activation as long as you verify your account and is supposed to provide you with an IP address, but it won't.

Isn't Oracle still giving out free servers? They are known to pull the plug on those without warning, but it should be enough to play around with and set it up in a way that you can get it running again quickly if it goes down, which is very valuable knowledge.
