If you get the server with cpanel it would have php etc. But you would still need to configure it yourself. Anything like mplayer, mencoder, ffmpeg etc you would need to install yourself.

Or do anything to the server after they install the OS/control panel. You'll need to secure the server yourself. If you just leave the default settings on a new server someone will get in sooner or later. If someone does get into the server to spread viruses or spam it's the customers problem. Obviously any host would cut you off too if you didn't take care of it quickly. SecuredServers might help in situation like that but I seriously doubt it, you're not paying for support.

Talk to Amerinoc and see what they can do to get the cost down. I know they have older decent servers for less than $150. I use to have a cheap dual core with them for $110. I would also ditch cpanel, Amerinoc can probably move your sites to directadmin. There's more to cpanel than directadmin but you pay more for cpanel, some host charge $30+ just for cpanel. You could also pay quarterly to get the cost down.
