My domain is hosted by http://www.gandi.net/

My DNS records, Internet telephony system, mail server and Web server are all
on a virtual machine hosted by http://www.linode.com/ which offers a choice of
Linux distribution. In addition to having root access to the virtual machine
over ssh, you can manage it over an ssh connection, for example to reboot it,
check its status, access the console when networking isn't functional, etc.

This works very well and fits within my budget, but it all depends on how much
you'll use it and whether it's worth the cost - economic rationality and
utility has its place sometimes.
