a VM can cost far less then $5 a month to run, depending if your bussiness is large enough and can run (or have it run for you) its infra properly.

I once did some simple estimation of a cost of a VM inside our own infrastructure, and the costs was something around a euro or less.

A single, modern server can hosts a crapton of VM's, especially if you have a competent operations team inside your bussiness who builds tooling for it.
