I have a task that PHP (or any server-side scripting language) isn't practical for. It involves a lot of file I/O, processing, etc. and it will execute a lot faster using the program I made in C instead of PHP.
Do any hosts allow you to upload your own EXE files and run them on the server using PHP's exec, shell_exec, etc. functions?
Do you need a dedicated server to do this?
Also, I don't know if Facebook's PHP HipHop is out yet, but I really don't want to use that.

You probably will need a dedicated server to do such a thing. Typically the exec function is disabled for obvious security reasons; a shared server would not want an executable such as yours eating tons of CPU time for everyone else.
Perhaps look into cloud hosting, such as Amazon EC2? This way you could start up your own virtual private server and run your application in its ideal environment. Also since you said "EXE" I assume it's a Windows application, and you can indeed run a Windows environment on EC2, whereas most PHP hosts run Linux machines.
