They are very flexible but you need a reasonable amount of Linux and server operation knowledge to use one. You might get one to play with / learn on (I'd suggest a cheaper one) but I don't think you're currently ready to run production sites on them for paying customers who will be calling you at midnight if something goes wrong. You're best off with shared hosting (that means the site operator keeps the web server running) and there are places that will let you install software like gforth on a shared server. webfaction.com is supposed to be good (I haven't used them though) and I think buyshared.com will also let you install stuff. I haven't used buyshared web hosting but their parent company (buyvm.net) is a well regarded VPS host.
