If you don't mind administrating your own site entirely, and having it 
on a virtual machine, some people are using this:

http://www.tektonic.net/

to host their own applications even, like OpenSim, and the like, since 
you can install more or less what ever you want into it.

Found it nosing around to see what sort of places out their might host a 
sim, to make building easier, without paying someone else anywhere from 
$40-$250 a month for it instead.
