The obvious answer is to contact web host providers about your requirements. Most web providers don't allow you to do much on a shared server. With dedicated servers you can do anything you like, but they are not recomended unless you need a powerful machine.
For most applications where you need a dedicated machine, but don't need a full dedicated server, virtual servers make a very good option. There are lots of hosts providing virtual linux servers that run using uml. www.linode.com and www.bytemark-hosting.co.uk are two such companies. The main advantage of using a virtual host is that you can fully manage the host remotely. For dedicated servers, you are at the mercy of your provider's support charges for simple things like getting a console dump or entering boot parameters into LILO/Grub.
