As the person who tipped Ben off about linode, I'll also vouch for them.  
Excellent service, excellent support.  The user community around it is 
very good.  The guy who runs it, cakers, is very very clueful and 
constantly working on new features, though just about everything you 
could need is there out-of-the-box.

Yes 64 megs RAM is not enough for more than one task: web server, mail 
server, dns serving.  Anything more, you need a bigger plan.  I use a 92 
meg plan for mail server (writing this on my linode) and web server.  It 
handles Spam Assassin JUST, if I serialize all incoming emails so I 
don't have more than one thread at a time.
