[ale] Cheap hosting with both shell and admin panel

Have volunteered to run a very low bandwith search tool (Usenet 
propagation, and low enough the originator got away with running it on a 
home DSL service for several years.) I'm not even going to try going that 
route, but also don't want to spend much either.

Searched this list for the past few years and found some good leads, 
unfortunately the best deals are now sold out. What I'm finding with the 
remainder is either shell or panel with a huge jump in prices to have 
both. Not quite "techie" enough to do it all from a shell, yet 99% 
certain I'm not going to be able to admin it with just the panel. (Thanks 
Rosehosting for a very nice demo of DirectAdmin!)

Some examples of what I have found so far:
unixshell.com			Completely sold out.
rosehosting.com		Jumps from $6 per month shared hosting (panel) to $21 for
					a virtual server with both.
tektonic.net			Sold out of lowest tier,($15) $21 for both.
(Three more)			Very high prices or only offer one choice. 

phpwebhosting.com seems to have the best current deal at $11 for both. Did 
find an old warning to only use them for hobby stuff (which this is) and 
stay far away from them for business stuff. Still true?

So, what are *todays* good deals and recommendations?
