A small VPS costs less than 5 dollars a month, and can sustain a lot of experiments. So unless your motive is to specifically learn them, there's no need to worry too much about vendor-specific technologies or suprises on your credit card bil.

When you get services running on your local machine, you can get them running on a remote machine as well.

That's a good point! I don't know, but I always have that small fear of messing up my own costs

A VPS is not usage based costs, you rent a fixed amount of resources.
