not $1.3 - they accept $5+ only payments))) don't accept debit/prepaid and lot credit too..
any lifehacks for this piece of shit or just activation SIM+$1, AWS - google - azure signups, would be right solution?

there one dump reason not any provider on the web can't give you VPS trial under $1 is that IP on the web market costs just this $1)))
so AS - MS - GC the best cause give you much more credit for these 1-3 months depending of usage personally preffers)))
