Questions regarding Google Cloud Trials

Hi!

I'm thinking of getting myself a Google Cloud Trial account but I have a few questions that I'd like to ask before I do anything wrong.

1. Is it safe to use my actual credit card? I've seen a lot of people claiming that their account got banned using a VCC and I have a credit card that I can use.

2. Is there a chance that my credit card gets charged of anything? I know nothing about Google Cloud, so I don't know if there are any limits. I'm not going to use jingling, but I might use a traffic exchange website every now and then.

3. How many VPSs can I create with a trial account?

4. How long does a VPS generally last? I guess 30 to 60 days, since most of VPS sellers used to offer a 30 day warranty.

5. If there is any limit to the number of VPS I can create, can I delete one and create a new one at any time? What matters the most to me is to have as many different IPs as possible to test a method, actually.

Thank you very much to those of you who will be able to help me out ;)

If it's anything like AWS trail, I guess it will allow you to make a decent amount of VPS but for a limited time only.
AWS => 750 hours a month (744 hours max a month possible with 1 VPS (31d x 24h))
If you would open 10 VPS this would mean they would run for about 3 days until free trail is over.

so with aws we have just to make 1 vps that can last one month !!!!
and if the vps is down before the end of the month, will it be renewed automatically next month or should we make another one ??

Thank for the answer. I might create a AWS account as weel, then. I'd create a VPS every couple of hours to get a new IP, actually. So I guess I could create a good amount of VPSs with just one account. Did you use your real credit card to create a n account or did you use a VCC?

I never created a google cloud account but i try to answer your questions with my knowledge i have about it. When i say something wrong, someone else please correct me:

1. Is it safe to use my actual credit card? I've seen a lot of people claiming that their account got banned using a VCC and I have a credit card that I can use.
Sure, why should it not be safe? If you are using your real information and your real credit card it's the "best" what you can do because you won't get banned.

2. Is there a chance that my credit card gets charged of anything? I know nothing about Google Cloud, so I don't know if there are any limits. I'm not going to use jingling, but I might use a traffic exchange website every now and then.
As far as i know you can have 300$, 500$ or 800$ promo credit on your google cloud account. You can use this money to use your account. So if you want to create 10 VPS, you can create 10VPS. But if you exceed the 300$ / 500$ / 800$ you will get charged. I dont know the price of the different VPS they are offering, but lets say 1 VPS would cost 3$ / day, then you can create 10 VPS for 10 days, if you have 300$ promo credit. If you exceed this, you will get charged. I dont know if jingling and other things are allowed, so maybe you will get banned using it, but i dont know.

3. How many VPSs can I create with a trial account?
As i've said before i think you can create as much as you want. Maybe you have a limit like 20 or 30 but i dont know exactly.

4. How long does a VPS generally last? I guess 30 to 60 days, since most of VPS sellers used to offer a 30 day warranty.
Lets say you create only 1 VPS, then it will last as long as your promo credit is available. Maybe the promo credit expires in 1 or 2 months, i dont know, but if it doesnt expire, your VPS will last as long as you want, because you will get charged after you exceeded the promo credit. So if you are using legit details, dont forget to delete the VPS when you dont have any more promo credit :)

5. If there is any limit to the number of VPS I can create, can I delete one and create a new one at any time? What matters the most to me is to have as many different IPs as possible to test a method, actually.
There should be no problems with this. But google cloud VPS get easily detected as those, the same with AWS.

PS:
AWS VPS (if you only use 1 per account) dont last for 1 month, they last for 1 year, if you dont exceed the traffic limit of 15GB / month

if you consume the 300$ free you wont be charged just you'll be asked if you want to upgrade and pay what you consume, otherwise they will terminate the account.
really its better than aws.

Thank you so very much for your help. I'll go ahead and create a google cloud account then. Thanks, you helped me a lot!

So I can create as many VPSs as I want if I happen to reach the $300 limit, they will just stop working and I will get asked if I want to continue to use them. If I say yes, I'll have to pay. If I don't accept, nothing happens. Right?

The VPS would last for one year that way (no-one can confirm that yet, but should be like that)
So if you make an AWS account and make one instance, this would run for an entire month without break and a whole year long ^^
Like you said, the 750 hours will/should be renewed every month, downside it, when you go over 750 hours you will need to pay to be able to use it in the future :) So one VPS is the safest way to go ^^

Hi guys! It's me again. Here's a screenshot of my dashboard:

http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/363255Sanstitre.png

As you can see, I have 51 days left and around $260 of credits. The thing is that I have $0.03 fee. What does that mean? It used to be $0.00, I just noticed that it had changed. Does it mean I'm gonna be charged for that? It's just $0.03, but it might increase and I don't know the reason why.

If someone has an idea of what's going on, I'd take any info you have for me. Thanks!
