Dreamhost looks very intriguing.

(They have a deal right now $19.95/month for their 338GB plan and they
say their filers all use RAID of some sort and have hotswap
capability.)

They offer shell access and have python installed.  I know I need the
password-less ssh connection.  Anything else I should verify before I
sign-up.  It does not look like much of a risk.
