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.

Not to throw shade on your efforts, but this is pretty much the experience I had long time ago when I explored 'free' VPS. I do hope you get it going tho. They would send me a termination of my account for inactivity which is pretty ironic.

Thanks!!! That makes sense, it turns out they want credit card verification despite being a "no credit card" organization.
