Dreamhost.com is cheap, but does not allow any httpd changes, but you can do
.htaccess files.But slicehost.com is by far the best I have seen.

You just get a linux box, and you can then setup the server as you see fit,
want to use mongrel, use mongrel, want ngnx or lighttpd instead of apache.
 Works just as good.
You are root, and you decide.
