If you are looking for a economic, yet flexible solution you probably want a virtual host, i.e. a slice of a real machine, where you are in (almost) full control of the software you need through installation as you would normally do on your home Linux box. As I assume you are German, you are in for a lot of good deals at the moment.
<br><br>I am personally using <a href="http://www.webperoni.de">www.webperoni.de</a>, but there are others out there. Webperoni gives you the option of trying a system for a few days before committing to a contract (which can be as short as 1 month). This is a good way to test performance and suitability for your particular requirements and to see that you can actually run all the software you need.
<br><br>You will also have to consider that you will need a fair amount of space to host your map data (depending on your application - I have around 4 GB of map data on my server). This rules out many traditional web offerings.
<br><br>Running mapserver, postgis and a content management system is possible on a virtual host, but you will probably also need to make pyramids of your data (in different resolutions) to gain acceptable performance and not have mapserver run out of usually fairly limited memory on virtual hosts.
<br><br>You should get a virtual host that does all this for around 10 Euros per month, including domain-name, 100GB+ traffic (if you need more you will certainly need a bigger system), and 5GB+ storage, full root access etc...
