I think this is the best solution.  A quick glance at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianHosting reveals prices currently starting
at 6 or 7 euros per month (plus VAT). Most offerings rely on Xen, but
I would not recommend that for a small web site because one kernel per
virtual machine is overkill in that case. Instead, OpenVZ and
VirtualLinux are better alternatives because they share the kernel
between all virtual machines (i.e. less memory, disk and CPU
overhead).
