Would it really need to be DEDICATED?  Many ISP's offer virtualized
servers - the hardware would be shared with other virtual domains.
I don't know what all services you need, but web and e-mail certainly
can work in the virtualized environment.

Check it out - see if it is for you - I know that SkyPoint used
to offer this when I worked for them (www.skypoint.net).
