Managed dedicated and they happily do script installs. In fact, they will do just about anything. The other day I had my host install MaxMind geo IP and block China by htaccess. It was getting out of hand because I was getting linked from Chinese forums (amazing how much traffic they can send) and at certain times during the day up to 15% of my traffic was Chinese and I did not want my trade partners to blacklist me. I told my host that I needed it because if I didn't get it under control I wouldn't have trades and wouldn't have a business. They understood and got it done -- it was Naked Hosting.
With Reflected, we have no control panels. I email support to do EVERYTHING, including setting up email addresses. There isn't a single thing I do myself.
Even on virtual accounts, support will usually install a script, but it will cost you. The average I've seen is $25 a pop.
