AWS does offer a free tier for 12 months
http://aws.amazon.com/free/ assuming that you don't go over their generous limits. Gives you root access to a server (linux or windows) that (probably) will stay up and you don't have to deal with your school's firewall. Great temporary solution, but as Andrew said it will become expensive once the free period is up.
