I have 5 virtual machines boxes on www.chicagovps.net. They have a 1GB Ram/10GB Disk/1TB traffic VPS for $5.35 a month, less than the cost of electricity to run a server at home. (Also, they have a 2GB/2TB xfer offering for $7.00 a month). They have all the popular distros and you have full control. They are OpenVZ VMs Service has been rock solid -- site is huge colo with full power and internet redundancy.
