The folks at www.HostGIS.com provide web hosting with postGIS, mapserver, 
MySQL with spatial additions, php/perl mapscript, and a slick method for 
adminstering the data via https.

They also provide a downloadable linux distribution that give you all 
that, minus the "and a slick method for adminstering the data via https".

I'm working on using the distribution for my updated application.
