Note that I've been operating a batch of AWS linux machines (working with Skip). This is the EC2 service, and I've been using 64 bit debian instances.
That said, there's a variety of providers of machines (other than AWS - hostgator, linode, digitalocean, ...), with different billing and support models. It all depends on what you want to achieve, and how you want to do it.
