Thanks for the thoughts everyone. I am looking at rimuhosting right now. I looked at godaddy and while they do allow me to install stuff and there prices are very reasonable, I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I think it would be better for me to spend 30-40 a month then 5-10 a month for hosting. The reviews I have read so far about rimuhosting seem on the whole very positive and looking over their packages and the os/hardware packages I am quite happy. My project is nearing the point where I need it hosted separately not just locally on my box. It is still a long way from complete but it is getting to the point where I need a permanent structure, that I don't have to mimic across 2 or 3 development boxes. I am planning on releasing the project under some sort of open source license so the discount idea sounds good to me.
