http://www.frostmud.com/ is still accepting applications.
Completely free server. Guy who runs it is pretty trustworthy, I've been using it as a test server for the past two years.

Necro or not, you can build a custom 24/7 server around 100$-150$, and hopefully you already have high bandwith net access (more than a 56k modem) @ home. No monitor or keyboard needed after you installed an OS.

Steps:

1.) buy cheap integrated mini-itx motherboard built with Via Epia or Intel Atom CPU around 50-70$ per. They can play back HD avi movies without flickering or lag, so it may be enough for running the main loop of your mud server.

2.) Just throw in 128/256 or 512 MB RAM, buy CF to IDE adapter then install an 1-2 GB Compact Flash card as the main drive (no moving parts, less power needed), plug in one dedicated eternet cable coming from your router and buy a cheap 20-30 W power supply and a cheap mini house. You can alternatively use an USB pendrive, or an SSD drive as the main drive.

3.) Install a linux distro like debian or ubuntu server, or win2k/xp on your comact flash drive.

4.) Solve to get a static IP adress with dyndns or whatever. Many faqs on the net.

5.) Install/compile the mud server.

6.) Put your server under your table or a secluded corner of your house, never switch it off, manage it through your home network if needed.

7.) profit.... ok not really, but fun

PS:
Typically Via Epia boards comes with Eden CPUs run @ 500, 800 or 1200 MHz with !!!passive cooling!!! and they have integrated 10/100 MBit ethernet, ide/sata/usb/audio/vga/firewire/whatever as well. Some of the Intel Atom CPUs have passive cooling as well. You can build an absolutely silent little box that do the work all the time consuming very little power.

Example: Via Epia 500 or 8000 (rather old boards) or brand new INTEL D410PT.
