Yes, all the cool kids at UFO have linodes. 

It's not a 'shell host' though, but a UML host, so you get root access
to a virtual Linux instance.

Probably if you don't want that you could get something cheaper. You
could do the above probably with an m-net account (although they'd
probably freak about the 500MB unless you upgraded to one of the 
paid accounts). 

On the other hand, though, after getting root access to a machine in
a data center with practically limitless bandwith, I find, you do 
tend to expand the scope of what you want to do pretty quickly.

Running servers at home is so 1999.
