What's "cheap" to you?  I'd recommend a low-end VPS from slicehost.com or
linode.com and then you're in complete control.  Throw virtualmin on there
and you're pretty good to go.  $20/month.  I'm not sure you'll get *much*
cheaper than that while still having the ability to install your own CPAN
and custom stuff.
