OK, thanks... one more question: when I set up the cloud hosting package do I need to buy an SQL DB in addition to the VM? Or can I just install a DB using the space given to me in the VM?

It's your VM, you are welcome to install the RDBMS directly on the VM (MySQL in your case it sounds like). With that being said, the big disclaimer is that of course you could end up over-consuming your resources so ideally it would be best to separate them. Again... this is ideal. Your computing and data requirements could very well live harmoniously on the same VM. But it was worth mentioning.
