Just curious, why do you want it to be local? If it's a random host out on the Internet, locality probably doesn't matter much unless latency is an issue for you.
And what do you mean by local? Are you limiting to just Worcester area, or Eastern MA, or New England, or Eastern US, or ...? ;)
You can get a VPS pretty cheap, I seem to recall prices of ~$35/month for a small instance in NYC w/ 100-200G/month transfer.

Linode.com is $20/month for Xen VPS w/ good specs. They get rave reviews, though I've never used their service.
I've seen posts on lowendbox.com mentioning VPS deals as low as $3/ month.
I'm currently using pairlite.com for shared hosting (FreeBSD). So far no problems. I'm considering switching to nearlyfreespeech.net, because their metered pricing looks to be cheaper for my usage.

By "local" I guess I really mean small enough that I can get a real person if there's an issue, even if it's email support only. I've had bad luck with large web hosts like Dreamhost and 1and1 in the past. Most of the time they're excellent, but when there is an issue tech support is unresponsive and it takes days to get it resolved. It's been a few years since I've shopped around, and maybe that's not as much of an issue anymore.
I'm leaning towards a hosted solution, rather than VPS. Someone else can worry about keeping up to date with security updates for Linux and Apache.
