I checked with a few ISP's in maybe '97 or 98, that kind of hosting wasn't available. Not that they weren't interested, they just didn't do it.

Have things changed?
Far as I know, no. You can co-locate your own machines at many ISP sites, but I haven't seen the kind of unlimited hosting on their machines that you are asking for. I can understand why; it'd be an administrative nightmare.
