I think what you are looking for is called a VPS - virtual private server.

Most hosting providers offer this service.

what is a good price to pay monthly for this?

Depends on your needs. The more you do on it, the higher the ram and storage, the higher the price.

It also depends on if you need Windows running on it, or Linux (with only ssh command line access with no UI).

The Windows RDS are generally going to be $20/month, while Linux VPS could be had for $5/month.

Lil tip, use Kamatera, they offer 30-days free VPS (up to $100 cost)

Why no one mentioned AWS EC2 ? It's free for 1 year.

Yes, you need a dedicated server or a VPS, and the pricing depends upon the quality of the service and your requirements from the server.
