I've been looking into this whole matter as well, and I think a good VPS is what you'd need. Considering the above response about running all those daemons and loading them into RAM, I think you should go for about 16 GB of RAM at least (IF you plan on supporting many, many coins). I know bitcoinwebhosting.net allows you to contact them and create your own custom plan, because there is no preset 16 GB RAM VPS with them. Also, youre gonna want DDOS protection, and they handle that as well. Just make sure you can handle the monthly expenses and hopefully make a profit.

a cloud server with 2 cores 3gb ram will run a pool with 100,000kh easy and will cost you about £30 a month

you can get better value if you get a dedicated server on a contact but its harder to upgrade with a cloud server 1 click and you can add more resources once you work out what you need you can then get a good dedicated server that's just right

if you want more info pm me

( I was looking for that info for months until I decided to just do it and see what I needed )

I've been curious about starting a pool as well. Perhaps I'll shoot both you and the OP a PM about it.

Is bitcoin hosting only for SHA-256 coins?

lol no it has nothing to do with that. They simply provide server hosting and whatnot. What you choose to do with the server is completely up to you.
