I suggest you try it in a virtual machine first. (The letsencrypt part won’t work then) Look at what linux distribution your hosting provider uses, so you will be familiar with everything. You can instruct them to reset your VPS in case you fuck something up, but that will take some time, so discovering possible mistakes beforehand on a test systems is more convenient.
As already said, running it on windows is a) not a good idea and b) unnecessarily difficult. Hosted Linux servers are way cheaper anyways.
You might want to specify what you want to do with your nextcloud instance, because server load can vary dramatically depending on use case.
Easiest install is via snap, they have everything you may need builtin, just read their wiki.
You need to:
Then you’re done, snap should even do automatic updates for you.
You can also find nextcloud hosting, but that will be more expensive and you probably have to pay per user :/
Not necessarily, Hetzner for example offers hosted Nextcloud relatively cheaply and you can manage most of it yourself: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share
Nice, but it’s only for storage so no installing apps? Using nextcloud for storage only is a bit overkill imo.
Not 100% sure, but I think it comes with a reduced selection of apps.

Thank you. I think I have videos based on this snap thing.
