Is it okay to put online advertising on a website running on Openshift, even if I'm using the free plan? I'm planning to buy a separate domain, but keep using the free server. I'm planning to use Google Adsense.
Yes. The only limitation the free service has is that its limited on resources.
The Free Services may be used without charge up to the thresholds set
forth at https://www.openshift.com/products/pricing. If You require
Services in excess of the Free Services or exceed the thresholds
referenced in the previous sentence, you must upgrade to the Paid
Services and pay the associated Fees.

We have a very complex core banking system using MongoDB and Google Sheets, and we are hitting the Google Apps Script quota limits and getting timeouts daily. We are looking at optimizing where we can, but I need to know if there is a way that I can increase the limits somehow in the meantime (don't mind paying more).
I have looked at the Early Access Program, but it says that they aren't taking any more new members.
Any ways that I can increase the limits?
Yes, you can
If you have a look at the Apps Script Quota information, you will see that the limits depend on the type of account you have.
If you have a free account, it means that most likely it is a Customer Account.
You can upgrade to either G Suite Basic, G Suite Business or G Suite Enterprise - depending on how much you need to increase your quota and how much you are willing to pay.
See here for more information about different accounts and pricing.
I need to develop an internal application where the user of a source and up to 8 destinations, the best route is drawn on the map and show the distance in km. So based on that mileage the system calculates how much it would cost.
I implemented this using the Google Maps API, but the application was limited to company then we would have to adiquirir a license.
I want to know if the GraphHopper is free to use a company internally.
The GraphHopper routing engine is Open Source under the permissive Apache License and is therefor free to use for anything. You could even integrate it in your products, modify GraphHopper and sell this, without notice to us or contributing back. Although it is encouraged to contribute back so that your feature gets maintained for free by us. Also you can host GraphHopper on your own servers for 'free' and do whatever you want with it.
The GraphHopper Directions API that we host falls under our usage terms and always requires an API key. We decided to make it free for development purposes and Open Source projects, both with a limit of currently 500 queries per day. So, the free usage of the API in a company internally would not be allowed. But there are custom packages possible - see the current pricing here.

I am trying to explore services of google compute engine,is there any free tier eligibility for exploring purpose. Like aws does provide free tier for new account holders for 1 year?
Yes, You are given 300$ credit for 90 days, after that there is an always free tier.
Use their price calculator to get an estimate
Google provides Starter Pack, $500 credit package for new coming developers on Google Cloud Platform, $500 is more than 1 year free tier server on other platform.
https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/
Just apply it and watch that space :)
update: Feb 2022
Yes, apart from 300$ credit for 90 days, there is an always free tier, that includes an App Engine, Compute Engine etc, more about free resources.
use their price calculator to get a cost estimate
Simple answer is YES
But it's not a 1 year trial like AWS.. it's a credit of $300 which expires in 60 days, after which you need to pay for continued usage.
Yes there is. It was recently introduced, and Google Cloud Platform offers a free trial worth $300 to all new users. As soon as you sign up, you immediately have $300 to use on any Cloud Platform service - including Compute Engine (as well as App Engine, Cloud Storage, or whatever else you want).
Check it out on cloud.google.com.
Yes, it is the 'Always Free' tier (almost identical to the Free Tier of AWS):
The Google Cloud Platform Free Tier is your opportunity to learn and
use GCP for free. It has two parts: a 12-month, $300 credit free trial
and Always Free. The 12-month, $300 free trial allows you to use any
GCP product. Always Free allows you to try participating products for
free up to their non-expiring usage limits, making it easy for you to
test and develop with these products.
In essence, it is completely separate to the free trial offered ($300 for 12 months) and is designed for developers to explore and develop applications and services that use the services included in Free Tier, without being charged (also note that a SLA does not exist with Always Free).
Usage of the Always Free tier does not use any free trial credit you may have:
You are eligible for Always Free usage amounts during the free trial period. Always Free usage does not count against your free trial credits:
For example, only the portion of your Google App Engine usage above
the App Engine free daily usage limits is charged against your $300
credit. In addition, if your App Engine usage is below the free daily
usage limits, your app will continue to run even after the free trial
ends.
I am developing an windows phone 8 application and want to maintain two versions of my app - free and paid. So that my app appear in both free and paid app sections.
Since these two applications will have different Product IDs, is it possible to buy paid app from inside the free app.
I know that if we use Trial API of WindowsPhone, we can purchase paid version from app itself and can unlock the features using IsTrial of LicenseInformation. But in this case your app doesn't appear in free section.
I want to allow user to buy paid app from free version say by clicking BUYNOW button in app and get the free version replaced by paid one automatically.
This is the exact scenario that Microsoft wants to avoid. They don't want to see duplicate apps in the market because it destroys the consistent user experience. Instead, you need to either use the Trial Library or release it for free and put an in app purchase to remove ads or add functionality.
Your only option is to maintain 2 apps one that limits functionality using IsTrial and the other with an in app purchase.
Some people have suggested this isn't allowed, but I've yet to find anything in the requirements documentation that says you can't do this. There's also quite a lot of examples of apps already in the store doing this.
Can we use OpenShift Express, which is free right now, for commercial web applications?
And if not, then which PAAS services are there which are free, and have no vendor lock-in.
You can use OpenShift Express for commercial web apps but be sure it will meet your requirements. Potential issues include:
currently no outgoing email support
currently applications do not scale to accommodate load
1GB disc space limit
shared hosting
limit 3 cartridges (DB, metrics, etc) per app
no official support from Red Hat. Documentation is good and community forum support is very active.
OpenShift would meet many commercial site requirements. I think it's a great option. For more info read the FAQ.

You can use Cloudify. It is build for orchestrating any application on any Cloud without changing the application code or architecture. Cloudify is opensource and free.
Cloudify offers many features such as pluggable monitoring, scale rules by any KPI, APIs for sharing runtime information between agents and even Chef integration
Due Diligence Im the product manager for Cloudify in GigaSpaces
I've been using it for some small services and clients.
There isn't any clause on there terms of use that states that you can't use it as commercial web apps. But attention to the following line:
"You may not post or transmit through this website advertising or commercial solicitations; promotional materials relating to website or online services which are competitive with Red Hat and/or this website."
Yes, OpenShift has a tier that is completely free to use, even for commercial applications. There are no plans to change this in the future. There are, however, some minor limitations to the FreeShift tier:
Scaling limited to 3 gears
Serves about 15 pages/second
3GB total storage space (1GB per gear)
No SSL certificate for your custom domain name
No support from Red Hat
An alternative is Heroku, which you should definitely check out if you haven't already. Having used both, I can tell you that it's a much more polished platform: The servers are about 4× faster, you can run as many apps as you want, and the Heroku Toolbelt is much more powerful than the OpenShift's Client Tools. Heroku is also completely free until you reach 10k rows in your database.
RedHat will provide support (and scaling) when they release their MegaShift tier.

I don't think there is a date yet for this.
It won't be for free off course.
