Cheap US cloud computer (VPN minus fingerprinting?): I need a social media account for a contract job, and want to register/login without the account tying back to me. Provider & spec recs?

Hey friends,
I'd like to:
- Register for a social media account under a client's company name
- Research the presence companies in the client's industry have on the site
- Have a reasonable assurance the account will not be linked to my real name nor my network
- Use a VM for 10-30? hr/mo, short term
I am:
- US West Coast based
- Tech savvy but don't code (unless copypasta)
- Price conscious
- Privacy conscious in terms of social media companies linking my account and my identity
Thank you!
What do you mean by VPNs leaving you open to fingerprinting?
I assume he means with hardware fingerprinting. Basically websites can collect enough info on your computer to identify you and track you across sites.
Running a VM on your own machine (using VMWare or VirtualBox) with a clean install of the OS and a browser in that should suffice to prevent that. Fingerprinting would be mostly on things like installed apps/fonts, screen resolution, free disk space and such.
