is there any website to run ubuntu virtually

Question

My hard disk is having health problems - "Disk failure is imminent".
Is there any website on which I can create an account and use ubuntu OS online?

...and how would you access that website without an OS running on some hardware? — mikewhatever, Sep 11 '15 at 14:14
dude, just boot a live-usb, or live-sd, or live-cd also: you might unplug your hard drive while you wait to do data recovery. @mikewhatever hardrives aren't required... you could do it with PXE boot — j0h, Sep 11 '15 at 14:14
...and why would I need a website to "run Ubuntu virtually", even if I already have running off a CD, ...dude? Forgive my doubting you, but that's a silly idea. — mikewhatever, Sep 11 '15 at 14:21
OF course you can get a cloud-hosting from Amazon etc. But how is it even going to solve your problem?! (btw, what is your problem?!) ;) — Ron, Sep 11 '15 at 16:00
actually i do not have a cd or usb as for now and need to run os in a borrowed laptop. — vidMath, Sep 11 '15 at 17:34
@piratejp OK, let me get this straight , you are working right now from a borrowed laptop but do need Linux . . .if you need just the Linux terminal, then use this Login as guest. Or this or that. Option #2: emulators - cygwin, VirtualBox or VMWare . . .option #3, actually buy a USB and create an Ubuntu liveUSB; I always keep one or two around, in case of "oh sh*t" moments. — Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy, Sep 12 '15 at 07:36

If your hard disk has health problems : replace the disk !
Then you can use a service like DigitalOcean.
(if that is what you really want...)

This is not possible because if you don't have an os then how you can access a site or any thing.
