Node server to run website

I'm currently taking some classes web development and we've just started with node.js and express. I've managed to set up a working server on localhost.As a next step, I would like to buy/rent/setup a cheap remote server where I can install node on (so I can access it from any computer). I would then set up the server using node / express to set up routs and give back webpages (run one or more simple websites), messages or others to the client. Ideally, after classes are finished, I would use the same solution to run some websites / webapps on.I checked out Digital Ocean as a cloud solution / checked out a synology DS + NAS home server, but I'm scared of picking the wrong solution cause, as a complete beginner, I just don't know where to look :-).I was wondering where some of the experienced users deploy their node.js server to run webapps / websites.Any suggestions on where to start? (a free or very cheap 'student solution' if possible)Thanks!
