Default Open Source Hosting Reccommendations

Hello everyone,

I am doing some volunteer work for a human rights NGO. They maintain about 3 or 4 websites and are looking for a new, open-source hosting solution.

The sites are currently hosted in Canada and are targeted towards an international audience. I've never had to assess hosting providers before, so this turf is a little unfamiliar to me. I am doing some googling (obv,) but wondered if anyone here had some good suggestions off the top of their heads.

Here are the requirements.

[snip]
Open Source Hosting:

100 GB hard disk space (Web and Email combined)
300 G bandwidth per month
512 Memory
No limits on domains, email accounts, etc
Apache Web server
Debian GNU/Linux OS
AlternC control Panel
Complete SSH/SFTP access (including root)
MySQL Database
PHP Engine
POP/SMTP servers
Basic management and support services
[/snip]

These aren't all set in stone. Obviously "No limits on domains..." doesn't really mean no limits. And I expect there are good alternatives to the AlternC control panel. But suggestions along these lines would be great.

Oh and by the way, the budget is around $150 a month.

Thanks,
Fergus
