You can get "third of a rack" deals too - we have a bunch of servers 
over at Verio for less than $1000 monthly.

But to start, the best thing to do is get a dedicated box for $99 from a 
colo provider - you can always get a another box (or more) reasonably 
cheaply but after a certain point it will become cheaper to buy your own 
hardware and fractional rack...
