Server4You leases dedicated machines for $29/month. It's old hardware,  
but it would be fine for the kind of services you're talking about,  
and it's a nice alternative to virtual systems if you ever run low- 
load but latency-sensitive applications like VoIP:

I'm not sure I'd use them for critical infrastructure, but for $29/ 
month it's hard to be too critical of small issues like their  
"new" (read: dead-slow, half-broken) admin interface. Plus they're one  
of the few leased-hardware hosts that will let you install your own  
OS: they have a "boot into Debian rescue mode" option you can activate  
(presumably it uses some form of netboot), from which you can download  
and install anything that can be launched from Debian.
