$3 / month is the going rate for co-located low-power hosting services with a static IPv4 address. 2gbyte of RAM would be seriously welcome, the hosting company would be delighted to be able to slap more EOMA68-A20 computer cards into a convenient rack, i'm sure they'll take them off your hands.
Interesting. I pay more than that to rent a virtual private server with less than 2 GB of RAM. Do you have any links to any such hosting providers in the US?
google "raspberry pi colocated hosting". of course... you'll end up with your service having to go through a proprietary arbitrary and untrustworthy code execution gateway (the GPU) but that's no different from Intel's backdoor co-processor, so...
anyway don't expect them to be speed demons - maybe a good idea to get a cubieboard2 and do some tests, run apache on it etc. etc.
i strongly advise you to get the 85mbyte/sec "sandisk ultra plus" micro-sd cards for booting up.
