Yo, 

I might be able to do that, I have a web server that does all of the things 
you mention, and I don't see any problem giving you user-level SSH access.  
It's reasonably reliable, it's been down a bit recently due to hardware 
malfunction (corrupted disk), but they've now replaced most of the 
components, it seems (!), so it ought to be fine from now on.  My dad's just 
bought a server lease too, so we can always use that as a backup server.

It's not regularly/automatically backed up at the moment, although I'm hoping 
to get something running between the two servers.  Were you hoping to get 
this hosting for free?  Maybe we could do a swap; you help me to set up an 
rsync/mon-based backup system in return for free hosting? :-)

Cheers,

Jon
