I don't know, because I did that exact thing. ;)
I did mention that I was using Rebol during an email to their tech.
support, and they (http://www.dreamhost.com) didn't seem to care.
I think most services won't care as long as you don't do evil things
with Rebol and as long as you don't need to involve their tech. support crew.
Also, any hosting service that gives you access to C compilers as
part of their plan should be pretty permissive, since you could do far
more evil with that than Rebol/Core.
