I may be a tad less optimistic: expensive hosting companies may or may 
not be worth the cost, but cheap ones are probably not unless you have 
very low expectations, or very simple needs.

Oh, I agree that if your hosting company will agree, it's a good way to 
go.  I was just pointing out that in this case, the company in question 
probably wasn't worth trusting.  (My advice was, and still is to go 
somewhere else, making sure they'll give you a box with a current 
version of Linux; if they'll give you a second hard drive so that you 
can upgrade with minimal downtime, so much the better.)
