Not really, no. In which country?

I have some suggestions if you can live with out a control panel and 
therefore want to do a bit of DIY:-

Firstly there is freeshell.org (US) Which has charity status, and so you 
can't really do any commercial things with it. You get a shell account 
on netbsd, and they like a donation now and then, but it's sort of 
optional.


In the UK there is bytemark hosting, starting at ~150 GBP (per year) for 
user mode linux. I believe bytemark to be competent.

xtrahost for a slightly more, but with xen virtualisation and they offer 
windows, too.

I think both the above offer some sort of plesk control panel, but that 
may only be for domain management.
