I've been using LiquidWeb for these types of jobbies.
http://www.liquidweb.com (ignore the annoying flash splash screen, they
really are a good company)

It's very inexpensive and it has cpanel. You also get unlimited
IMAP/POP/SMTP accounts, mailing lists, forwarders, lots of scripting
support (lots of CPAN Perl modules are installed and PHP). It also has
Frontpage, statistics gathering, FTP, WebDAV, and more.

I've had really good experiences with them although sometimes their FTP
and IMAP response times are lacking.

They also allow you to do pretty much anything that's possible with
.htaccess files.
