I did look into this a few months ago - and decided to set up my own machine running WebMin and FreeBSD 8 on a customer site instead (obviously with permission - it also provides them with extra services for no charge to them).

In my case I just couldn't find one that I was comfortable with - either the offers were not clearly free, or they wouldn't permit me to run the master, there were limitations on the number of zones and so on. The arrangement also lets me run a secondary mail server with anti-spam measures - minimal, but seems to be saving me upwards of 3GB/month on my limited Australian internet connection :)
