**Direct answer:** LayerStack advertises a "Free Trial Deploy Now" entry point on its homepage, but its promotion page states: "At the moment, there is no discount being offered on LayerStack." The grounding material does not list trial length, credit amount, eligibility, or a permanent free tier, so check the current terms on the [promotion page](https://www.layerstack.com/en/promotion) before deploying a 试用 vps or free linux vps server.

## 免费服务器试用 and 免费试用服务器: current status

- Promotion status: "At the moment, there is no discount being offered on LayerStack, follow us for the latest offers on our official promotion page, Twitter, and Facebook." Source: [promotion page](https://www.layerstack.com/en/promotion).
- Trial entry: Homepage shows "Free Trial Deploy Now" and "View All Products" alongside "30,000 + CUSTOMERS WORLDWIDE" and "5 With New Taipei Region DATA CENTER LOCATIONS."
- No permanent 免费服务器 terms found in grounding: There is no listed duration, free quota, or post-trial conversion rule. Do not assume a 免费服务器试用 stays free after deployment.
- Action: Use "Create Free Account" / "Deploy Now" flow and review the promotion page for any updated 云服务器免费试用 offer.

## 云服务器试用 and 云服务器免费试用: what to test

Use a trial to verify the items LayerStack documents on its Cloud Server and infrastructure pages:

| What to test | Documented fact to check against |
|---|---|
| Deployment and control panel | Cloud servers and control panel are described as developed "to simplify your entire cloud computing experience" |
| Network and traffic | Homepage states goal of "unlimited traffic to your website"; separate study slug is "Unlimited Bandwidth Traffic" |
| Availability | VPS plans page states "High Availability, Full Redundancy and 99.95% Uptime Guarantee"; homepage banner states "99.5 % UPTIME GUARANTEE" |
| Storage performance | All cloud servers described as "all SSD"; PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD page states NVMe transfers "25 times more data" vs SATA SSD, commands "2 times faster" vs AHCI, and IOPS "exceeds 1 million" and "up to 900% faster" than AHCI |
| Free included features | VPS page lists "Free Access" to Monitoring, Individual Firewall, Powerful API, Worldwide Data Centre, Migration to LayerStack, High-Performance Architecture, and Basic Cloud Servers Managed Service |
| Templates and cloning | Templates allow deploy of multiple servers with same configuration and support "five virtual disk formats up to 150GB at no additional charge" |

## 试用 vps and free linux vps server: OS, migration, and regions

- Migration test: LayerStack documents "Free Cloud Migration to LayerStack" from VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, and Xen. Stated terms: "Free of charge"; provided "within 30 days of Cloud Servers purchase, and newly upgraded accounts"; typical process "takes within 1 week to complete"; new IP assigned by system; make offsite backups before migration date.
- OS coverage: Migration page lists Multi-OS Support: Windows, Linux. This is the only explicit Linux VPS reference in grounding for a free linux vps server evaluation.
- Regions: Homepage counts 5 data center locations including New Taipei Region. Brand overview positions Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and Taipei as Asia-Pacific footprint.
- Instance types to compare during trial: Basic Cloud is described as "reliable performance at the lowest cost" built on "older generation AMD EPYC CPUs"; Premium Compute VM is described as powered by "5th Gen AMD EPYC 9745 Turin processors with PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage."

## 免费云服务器 and 免费服务器: how pricing starts after trial

- No free-tier price of zero is documented. Grounding does not list a Cloud Server 免费云服务器 monthly price.
- The only starting price shown on the homepage in the extracts is: "Basic fee starting at US$5.00 /mth" in the Nano Cloud GPU banner, not a Cloud Server trial price.
- VPS page documents billing options as "Select Billing Cycle: 1-Month 3-Month 12-Month (Save Up to 37%)" and route option "China Direct CN2 Route: + US$5.00 /mth," plus secure checkout via Stripe, certified as PCI Level 1 Service Provider.
- Cost context: A LayerStack article description states yearly plans are "the cheapest options in every category — up to 75% cost could be saved by moving to LayerStack cloud servers." This is a 2020-05-27 comparison claim, not a current price.
- Before testing, confirm on the [promotion page](https://www.layerstack.com/en/promotion) whether a 免费试用服务器 converts to paid billing and which payment method is required.

## FAQ: verbatim trial queries

### 云服务器试用 vs 云服务器免费试用 — what is the difference on LayerStack?

Grounding uses "Free Trial Deploy Now" and promotion-page discount language, but does not define separate 云服务器试用 and 云服务器免费试用 plans. Treat both as the same trial entry and verify current offer on the promotion page.

### 免费试用服务器, 免费服务器试用, 免费云服务器, 免费服务器 — does LayerStack offer a permanently free server?

No permanently free 免费云服务器 or 免费服务器 plan is documented in the extracts. Only a Free Trial entry, free migration within 30 days of purchase, and free-access features (monitoring, firewall, API) are listed.

### 试用 vps — what should I verify first?

Verify region latency, unlimited-traffic behavior, SSD/NVMe performance, firewall/API/monitoring access, and whether the trial requires upgrade to a 1-Month, 3-Month, or 12-Month cycle.

### free linux vps server — can I test Linux on LayerStack?

Yes for evaluation scope: migration support lists Windows and Linux, and hypervisors VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, and Xen. Linux distribution list and trial image list are not specified in grounding; check the deploy templates during signup.
