You might also be interested in a VPS instead of running a coop (the 
somebody-else-runs-the-coop model)

Lloyd swears by Tummy:

though they're $25 a month for a 50MB of RAM package which might get 
tricky under RH/Fedora (how do they do that?)

I'm paying $49 a month for my server but that ISP now charges $99/mo 
for the same class machine for new accounts.  I'm seeing the same thing 
with SSL Certs - I used to get InstantSSL certs for $49 now they're 
$99.  DynDNS is even charging more than Thawte!

The pendulum certainly seems to be swinging back to the DYI-is-cheaper 
side.
