I have a few Cloud Server OS X now.
http://www.godaddy.com/hosting/mac-hosting.aspx?ci=18037
Is cheap, works great and it is OS X, easy to use and install.

That's all documented, so I've not found it terribly arduous. Linode also offers a "StackScript" system that allows you to create (or chose from a selection of pre-existing) scripts that you can apply to your nodes when they are created. So once you know what you need to do to create a new WO app host node you can automate the process.

VPSs work well if you scale horizontally (add additional nodes to handle growth rather than expanding the individual node sizes).

Then use those numbers to calculate the costs based on EC2 + EBS, Linode/SliceHost, or colocation to determine which is going to fit your needs better. As always TANSTAAFL applies.
