Fossil itself is hosted on three separate geographically distributed systems. (See http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/tip/www/selfhost.wiki for details.) The primary server is a Linode 720 ($40/month). Another server is a Linode 360 at $20/month. Both are out of your budget range. But the third is a Hurricane Electric Starter Virtual Host account at $10/month. The HE Starter Virtual Host gives you SSH access to an account on a linux box with 5GB of storage, 500GB/month of transfer, 1000 POP3/IMAP mailboxes, a C compiler, and Apache with a cgi-bin. You'll have to upload the fossil sources to your account and compile the fossil server. The details on how to set up the CGI script are shown in the link above. Contact HE at http://he.net/web_hosting.html I have no connection with HE other than being a satisfied customer since 1999. D.
