Given that we have to switch to Alby Hub to do this and the only free option is to host it ourselves, what happens if the PC I'm hosting on shuts off? Alby Go just completely unuseable on my phone app as well by proxy correct? Money is tight after an unexpected payment had to be made so I wanna weigh all my options

The way lightning works currently both sender and receiver have to be online.

so also Alby Hub needs to be online, the easiest is to run it on some device that is always on (or a cloud service)

if it’s offline or locked no payments can be made.

Any chance you know of the cheapest, most reliable/secure cloud service I could use for this or is Alby Cloud my best bet?

Most reliable/secure is probably by us. We didn't compare prices, but feel free to come back with feedback when you try others!
