This may not fall into your categories.  Many of my websites (including 
The FreeBSD Diary) have run on a http://www.nyi.net/ provided box since 
early 2003.  They own the box and provided it with FreeBSD installed. 
I've upgraded the OS several times since then.  Still running solid on 
the same server.
