FREE hosting for a year, you can get SSH access and various Linux distributions. * Linode I use this with a Linux distribution Costs about $19USD, I guess, for 200GB bandwidth, 512MB memory, 16GB HD. * Other VPS-y things; RapidVPS hosts hpaste.org and tryhaskell.org which are FastCGI, about the same as Linode but half the price, and half as fast/responsive (for me) but reliable. I'd recommend Amazon in this case, you don't get much cheaper than free.
