If you want total control, like installing any environment (python/ruby/php), access through SSH, etc, shared hosting is out of options. For VPS/owned-instance, you can try: 1. Slicehost 2. Rackspace 3. Amazon EC2 4. Hetzner etc
All of these let you choose different instance types (RAM/CPU type based), and will provide you web interface to install any popular Linux distro. You will be given access to SSH, and then its all yours to do whatever you want to. So, basically it will be whole virtual remote machine with Linux. I am using some instance from all these providers. In my opinion, Rackspace is cheapest for a low profile instance. I am getting billed $14/mo for small instance which has 512MB RAM. If you need better machine, high RAM in comparatively low price, try to buy some reused hardware at Hetzner.. Amazon EC2 stands at same level as Rackspace, but it has better addons, like S3/EBS/DNS etc. Amazon EC2 has free plans for starters. If you want a free instance for a year, register on Amazon EC2, and select the tiny instance (perhaps with 600-700 MB RAM) and you will get linux with sufficient RAM to run your web-app/site. My experience with other VPS and Shared hosting been rough.
