You can get virtual server for $4/month. Installing proprietary software and registering to some service, that may "upgrade" to premium tier anytime, is pretty off-putting.

Why use a virtual server if you want to connect to your home network?

I have IPv6 at home with port 22 opened for one of my home server's IP's. But my work internet connection does not have IPv6 at all (lol) so I use one of my VPSes as a jump host.

My home network has a dynamic IP. I'm using a home-baked dynamic DNS thingie, but a virtual server with a fixed IP could work too. Would update for the new IP much faster now that I think about it.

Because in some countries, like .cz, it is pretty common that your home network is behind NAT, the ISP does not want to forward a port for you, and there is either no option to get a public IP or it costs $5 to $10/month and is a lengthy process to obtain (typical internet connection costs $20 to $30/month here).
