I have had this need at work so I can learn Kubernetes and I used Microsoft Azure.
You can create a VM in a few seconds loaded with Ubuntu. I went for the approx $100/month machine because I shut it down when not in use so it costs nowhere near that. You have to shut it down in the portal or via azure api, not using the shell command to save money.
It’s easy to SSH into and possible to Remote Desktop although I haven’t made that work yet.
The turning off the machine when not using it requirement would require you to write code to detect that you are not using it. You could write something that once there is no ssh for 15 minutes calls the azure api to shut it down.
