Ya, I've got a test server on free trial on the East Coast just sitting mostly idle for the next month or so. Though you'd be restricted to the mods I have installed.

Smok3y, another option if you're looking for chat for just the 2 of you is Skype. Best of all it's free. I don't know how many you can get on a channel, or if it is just 1 to 1. Something to look into too.

The place where most guys get hung up on hosting is to make sure the correct ports are open.
Also, you can host a session in game just as easy as running the dedicated server. I always prefer the dedicated server interface though.

What router are you using? You will need to get into your router settings (typically you type your local IP and it will pop up asking for a login and password). You then look for the port forwarding section. You open the ports from there.
