A few things before I begin:

1. Nothing is always free. Some way or the other, you’ll have to pay.
2. Compute Engine requires a credit card, though it is free.

Take a look at Compute Engine in the table:

> **[Free Google Cloud features and trial offer  |  Google Cloud Free Program  | ...](https://docs.cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features)**
>
> Learn about Google Cloud's free offerings and free trials, plus how to upgrade your account.

However, I pay for the domain. Namecheap can get you domains at \>$1 a month for the first year.
