We are using Amazon AWS with pretty good results. You could use a small
(t2.micro) Linux instance which probably would be adequate. The per hour
charge is $0.013 (yes, a bit more than a penny an hour). However:
1. The first year can be free.
2. After that, if you commit to a time period of a year, the total cost
is $75 per year.
3. If you commit to three years, the total cost is $151, or about $4.20
a month.
4. You can play around to your heart’s content. If you screw something
up, you just throw your (virtual) machine into the trash can and start
over.
If you have large amounts of network traffic from the outside, they may
charge you for each gigabyte of traffic. The current cost of that is
$.09 per GB after the first GB, which is free. That looks pretty good,
but it is a large cost for us since we are running a CTAN mirror site.

So I'm looking for a reasonable hosting service with ssh access and
modest
hacking capabilities .. bash, *nix commands, possibly node.js, as well
as a
reasonable "dashboard" .. like CPanel or similar for installing
packages.
I'll probably use this as a way to toss hosted wordpress and media
wiki and
just use much simpler blog/wiki web services.
Any recommendations?
