what about something like this?
=> A mini-itx fan-less computer with a simplified keyboard (no ALT, CTRL combination), a super simplified GUI (based on linux) and no root rights by default (no need for antivirus).
French Iliad SAS (the parent company of the ISP Free) just started a cute server renting business in a former Exodus datacenter.
The point of interest is that servers are fanless, built on low-consumption VIA processors, and consume about 20W/server.
That should make the cost of operation much lower than traditional hosting...
