Have you thought about using Linode, setup a server there. You get $60
credit to try them. I used it a lot, had a DNS server with them, and Nagios
Server. They are not Amazon, which uses a D20 for trying to figure out your
pricing. The rate they post is the rate you pay. I have also heard that
Digital Ocean and Vultr are good as well. I hope that helps.

You can do everything that you are wanting with them. It's your server.
Square Space is the only wed site I know of, that's not true there's
Godaddy, but run from them, they are not the same company as they were 10
years ago.
