I use Linode, and it seems to meet your needs as stated.  Linux of  
your choice, $20/month, and you can run any software you run.  The  
only tricky issue is that you need to pin your OS's kernel to whatever  
Linode uses -- you can't just upgrade when your OS distributor updates.

I haven't used it for any business projects yet, so I can't really  
respond to its performance/scalability/enterprise-worthiness.  I  
intend to deploy a small project there soon, but might use Amazon EC2  
instead (depending on how much RAM it turns out Happstack really  
needs...)
