Hell, there's more 15-20 year olds out there with a dedicated server for WarCraft who think they can sell space on it to pay for it - then there are legitimate hosts.
Depending on your needs, they might set it up for you, but if they need to admin your machines, you'd probably be looking at least at $85-100/mo more per system. mod_proxy is pretty standard, as is PHP. Tomcat, less so. RoR? Not going to happen with a stock CPanel/DirectAdmin box.

Thanks man....
I was actually more curious about price points for a box that had just SSH and SFTP access... I could care less about having Cpanel (well, at least for the interim). Also, since I could care less about Cpanel, what's the admin charge from a hosting company for hooking up DNS, setting up email accounts as they're needed and even the most basic: starting / stopping a server in case I make one unstable.
Basically -- I'm coming from an environment where I've had free reign to request servers + the software on them, as a developer playing with whatever software I want. How would one, as myself, find something like that in a hosting company if I were to be on my own?
