For a long time I used www.smartnet.com for my ISP as well as a host for my
website. In fact I still have a limited account which has about 100M web
space and incoming email to pstech at smart dot net. I've had Verizon FIOS
for almost two years now and they offer free 10M web space, but no CGI so I
had my SmartNet tech set up the server so I could do that. It was OK for
$99/year, but about a year ago I took a free trial of www.dreamhost.com and
it is a good deal for $9/month. They have an active user forum and also very
responsive technical help. They also have specials and other web services. I
get my domains from www.mydomain.com.

What do you mean by "run programs over the Internet as a home business"?
Assuming you want to make money, you will have to offer a service that is
unique and not available elsewhere for free or dirt cheap. Trying to think
of a "program" that people would pay me for the privilege of running, I can
only come up with something like a PCB design program, where someone may
submit a netlist (or schematic), and an outline drawing with parts placement
information. Then you could have an autorouter on your machine that would
accept the customer's information and produce the complete package of gerber
files and other fabrication documents. It could also offer services such as
BOM generation and parts procurement.

But much of that process usually requires human intervention, although it
may be a lucrative business. Otherwise I don't know of many programs that
people would pay to run. If it is something like a specialized calculator,
it would probably be a candidate for JavaScript, but that is server-side and
the user will have a copy of the code. To avoid that, you could use PHP, but
I don't know what would be unique and valuable enough to pay for. Maybe I'm
missing something...
