You can also take a look at the website I posted on this thread. It is a very good way of starting your server up and running if you don’t want to install anything on your computer. You can create containers from PHP to Ruby to Java to mostly a lot of stuff. The best part, you get free SSH. You also get access to phpMyAdmin as well as an online IDE to edit your files.
Please take note that you only get 2 free tries. If you trash your first container, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to get a 2nd one. But you can just delete your account and re-create it again.
