azure free webhost

hello, i have a website already hosted on a server located on egypt (i made a bad deal).

i'm on a very low budget for many reasons, but i want to keep working on my wordpress website (it has 10000 hits a month, some good month 15000 max).

my question is simple, can i sign up for an azure free acount, setup a linux environment, install xampp server and hos my wordpress website there for the free entire year ?

anyone has done it before ?

azure says that it's a year for free but needs cc for verifications, also offers 25+ free products.

thanks in advance for all the help.

Haven't personally used Azure, but it should work. I know people do it with Amazon AWS all the time.

thanks for the information @zreon

Better to use AWS for free trial, it also have 12 months free.

Dont rely on free for your business. If you are earning you should spent some.
What if they close your account, without any reason as someone before in this section was telling the same about google.

Use AWS or Google Cloud, both are free for 1 year (google cloud a bit less tbh). Both will require your credit card.

You do not need xampp for Linux, use Apache instead if you are a bit tech savvy.
