Without having anyone in mind, and probably in the future wanting to
ask the same question myself, I'd want further details.

What do you specifically want?
- A directory where you can upload files, and have them be on a
website automagically?
- Ability to host arbitrary scripts without too much oversight by the
company (because that would take too long, you trust your / your
husbands ability to write secure code), although given you're on a
perl mongers list I'd hope for at least this
- A virtual machine that you can set up to your own needs ?
- Dedicated machines?

My own personal needs would probably want a virtual machine, but that
might just be me.
