My only advice is to find a small webhosting company and email them with
your issues.  Most people will work with you to get this done.  It may be
a little more work to setup, so they may want to charge you a larger
installation fee, but try and work something out.

A friend of mine runs www.xpi.net, take a look at them.

Good luck!
