I'd like to roll my own server so I can have my projects available 24/7 but with more flexibility than one of the free providers like github can provide. Anyone have a good hosting service that includes shell access? I've been searching on google, but I get a weird spammy vibe from a lot of the places.

Do you want a Web hosting account or do you want to store a Git repository somewhere? There's a difference. If it's just hosting, you can get shared hosting anywhere for $5 or less per month. It's shared hosting and you may (rightly) be concerned about security. If so, VPS is a better option and starts at about $15-20/month for a (virtual) dedicated server that you have root access to.
But if you really are just after somewhere to host a Git repository I'd suggest looking into a specialist company. There are many variants upon Github. I've just started using Project Locker because the free version has SSL support, 500MB of space (that's a lot of source code even with revisions), up to 5 users and no limit on projects (many other free providers limit you to 1 project). It also has issue tracking (Trac) and Wiki tools.
Sure I could install all these on my own account but why bother?
Also, see Best git repository hosting for commercial project?
Some companies offer Redmine, such as SVN Repository (which is Subversion and Git).

Yeah I'm basically looking for some place to store my git repos, but I'd like to be able to configure a nice project management front end too. Hadn't heard of project locker, I'll check that out, thanks.

I started with the free plan on project locker and ended up paying for SVN Repository (now sourcerepo.com). The user/project management was just a bit too clunky at project locker.

http://www.Unfuddle.com is awesome. Quick, easy, and great customer service. A small project is free. Great way to try it out. A mid-sized project is only $9 per month. This is what we're using on our project and could not be happier.

I looked into Unfuddle. My big issue was being limited to 1 project (and 1 user?) for the free version. Project Locker was much better for me in this regard.

We've been using Unfuddle for a while and it's been great. We have the lowest paid account and can create several projects with it. You can have a limit of projects but they are active projects. If you are not working on something you can archive it and use a different active one.

If you want git hosting, take a look at http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitHosting (GitHub, Gitorious and repo.or.cz seems most popular, with Unfuddle next in turn, according to current results of Git User's Survey 2009).

I'm a bit late to the party but have you seen http://sourcerepo.com/
This company does git/svn and redmine. This might be just what you are looking for. Looks like $7/Month gets you everything you'll need. Which is quite cheap compared to alternatives like github.
