If you want serious control over the machine and are willing to pay a bit more for a dedicated server, take a look at ServerBeach. They offer several operating systems, including CentOS, and give you control over the box to the point that you can even re-image the disk remotely if you truly screw something up. If you do something nasty to it and cause it to lock up, you can still remotely reboot. Hardware RAID-1 is available.
You get out-of-the-box CentOS and are allowed to install pretty well anything you like, including virtual machines on top. If you need reverse DNS lookups you can request whatever response you'd like for the IP address(es) you have. Just be aware that what you get is simply a complete machine fully exposed to the Internet, and you're responsible for your own iptables firewalling, etc. Their support staff is friendly and responsive, but they expect you to be your own geek.
For DNS service I use Nettica because they are relatively inexpensive and give you control over all of the records. I use GoDaddy strictly as a registrar, and have been very happy with the service, but I don't consider them a serious hosting provider because there's not enough control.
I have used several of the free hosting and DNS services out there, but when it comes down to the crunch, you get what you pay for (CentOS is a great exception!)
BTW, I have no connection with these companies, I just happen to like their services. A lot.

I'm almost certain MediaTemple has all that. If you don't care about a fancy frontend, I can supply all that with my servers very cheaply. E-mail me if interested. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
