https://www.hetzner.com/cloud - you can host a smaller server (~20 players) for 2.5EUR/month. Works nicely. I believe Arelith is hosted on 3 of those 5EUR instances, with over 200 concurrent players.
I can no longer recommend this. Use a dedicated server.
I have also recently updated my Game Server Manager with a NWN command-line generator and INI parser, for those that are interested. THis includes a multitude of features to make managing your server easier (see the guide below for details): http://www.jimbobslimbob.com/filescat.asp?cat1=Programs&cat2=Utilities

The Wiki also does an excellent job of showing you how this is done (for 1.69, but most of it is still relevant): http://www.neverwinternights.info/dedicatedserver.htm
For the Enhanced Edition, you can download the separate dedicated server client here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/67157/server-download-package-to-tide-you-over-and-also-docker
