I am now beginning to learn SQL and am looking for a free or very cheap service in which I can host small databases and execute commands for learning purposes. Also, I want to start learning to manipulate SQL data directly in R. Does anyone know of a service like this?

Try running them locally? Probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but perhaps doing things this way could provide for a better learning experience. Consider just grabbing a tabular dataset from somewhere like Kaggle, design an SQL schema for it, and then just store and query it locally

Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure have free tiers for one year. But, as @12b345b6b78 noted, it's super possible to run databases on your workstation regardless of platform.

The RSQLite package on CRAN may be the easiest way to start studying SQL from R locally. The vignette should help you decide if it is suitable for your requirements.

The sqldf package is good for learning SQL. You don't have to set up a database at all but can just run SQL statements immediately using data frames as the tables so you can start playing around with SQL immediately.
