Had something similar set up for a client last year.
Talk to 1and1.com
Rackspace also offers dedicated managed but they tend to start around $4-500 per month.
What irritates me about Rackspace is lack of published pricing. Makes me feel like 2 people can call an get the same exact setup yet pay different prices.
AFWIW if you have 150 accounts at $1500 per month with your current host they should be doing setups for you gratis. I'm surprised they have not reached out to offer you a better solution that offers better service at savings to you.
Seems short sighted and bad business.

And they use crap hardware, was on the IBM team that evaled their site, I swear it was like monkeys built it, IDE drives in servers, homebuilt junk sitting on shelves in racks, very sorry place.
