I can't speak for getting a Linux cloud server, but I've seen plenty of recommendations to use a VM when trying to use some software on Windows. Unless you're specifically writing C# or using IIS or SQL Server I don't necessarily believe it's bad advice. In the coming years, with the way C# is changing, Linux/FreeBSD may become the desired platform to run C# code (just like it is for Java.)
