Cricktor correctly answered your question, but I have a few remarks.
[1] If you want to save money, a cheap, 'local' node might be a better option in the long run. You will need a VPS with a ton of storage for the blockchain and various LN databases which isn't cheap.
[2] Core Lightning (previously C-Lightning) is more lightweight and needs less resources, so that will play into your hands if trying to run the whole thing on cheap hardware (even if you do go the VPS route).
[3] In case you decide to go for Core Lightning, I believe that my full node install guide will be very easy to follow. You can skip electrs if you don't need it and just install Bitcoin Core and Core Lightning.
