I have personally been using OVH for $1.05/month. This offer is only available for their new customers and also is only offered in certain regions as well. I've been using it for my personal small projects to host my frontend projects and also as VPN server as well. It is now more than a month since I've been using it and haven't had any issues so far.
Another platform I might suggest is Oracle cloud. They have a free VPS offer FOREVER. If you're register for the first time and their system gives you an error it's their "fair usage policy" of some sort where their system might think you're someone that's trying to abuse their free offerings(best not to waste time if it doesn't work the first time). If you do register tho, you might need to do a few research when you're starting out initially. The platform has lots of options and tools and it might get overwhelming if this is your first time. Nonetheless, I believe it is manageable tho. It just takes a little bit of time to get used to their interface.

I assume you're referring to the two free instance you get with the x86 VMs. And that is correct. As far as I remember, they offer you two VMs with x86 1VCPU and 40GB of block storage minimum or you can create 5 VMs with ARM with CPUs with lots of cores and memory each having 40 GBs of storage(don't remember the exact use-case). If you want to know what you are getting, please read the doc I have attached for you for always free resources. They offer you free 200GB in total and the bandwidth they offer is 20TB/month with 1Gbps speeds for each VMs (I might be wrong tho. It's been a while since I've used their service). Also, in case you're wondering why I'm not using a free service like this is, I used one of their servers to pirate copyrighted material. They'll ban you without warning so read their terms of services and try not to be a fool like I am. https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm#resources
