(I know that this is about selfhosting, but I am forced to use cloud services due to it not being viable to selfhost because of DSL internet speeds in my house, and I need this to be accessible outside my home.)

I recently made a Linode account (and got the free credit), and I am planning on only paying $5 a month if I can. I noticed that Nextcloud AIO (from Linode “Marketplace”) ran very well on the lowest shared CPU plan (1GB ram, 25GB storage, 1 CPU core (CPU seems to me an AMD Epyc?)).

Will it be okay for me to host a Wordpress website and a Nextcloud instance from the same server? I will be using Docker/Podman, and only I will be using the Nextcloud instance.

    I’ve heard plenty of stories about people’s free tier VM’s being deleted without notice on Oracle Cloud. It doesn’t seem like a trustworthy option for document storage or hosting a website.

      I’m assuming they’d be using the $5 per month mentioned in the opening post to pay for some upgrade, e.g. more storage, more RAM, etc. So they’d be on a paid account, but using services that cost zero dollars for the most part. This is what I do and it’s been great.
