Another option is to find a place that offers you your own server, for
cheap. Hostway.com is offering dedicated servers for as little as $99
a month. I got a server from them with Ubuntu on it. I was very
pleased to have my own server, for so little money. The last company
that I worked at had their servers from (was renting) from
RackSpace for $550 a month. Compared to that, Hostway seems cheap. Of
course, Hostway is not offering the awesome level of customer service
that RackSpace offers, but most of the time I don't need it.

Once you've got your own server, you can do anything you want with
it.
