I guess if you stick Cloudflare (free) in front of that you also get their IPv4 for free (and their free caching/firewall).

Yup, that's what I am using
VMs are all the same you get the whole server control and install anything just like your local computer/server
I just want to know how long are you gonna host your website Also you want it to be running 24 or 24/7 hours
So why does it matter having both ipv4 and ipv6? Isn't ipv6 the 'new better thing'? Or do I need both to support older machines?
Well I guess that could work, I don't expect a large user base 
So it really depends, I am just testing something out, the goal is to have the site available 24/7 to all users, but depending on how successful it is (or isn't) I will keep it running or shut it down. I am mostly looking to get something experience in. It would be nice if I can make some money out of it with google ads or something...
plz check your DM
I did manage to get a local certificate, so I can now connect to the server over https and the browser does not complain. I was having issues with cookies not being set on the client which is also fixed (though I'll probably still need a solid solution when in production so I will look at all the possibilities you guys are suggesting).
There are also several providers that sell OpenVZ VPSs (which are not recommended if you're starting out or want to change/upgrade the kernel -- they are somewhere in between proper virtualization and a docker container) for a few dollars a year.

It's not just "older machines" that use IPv4.
- Some ISPs don't provide IPv6.
- Some home type routers don't support IPv6.
- Some people don't even understand IPv6 [so they don't bother turning it on].
