I have an image processing script which takes nearly 3 weeks to be computated on my notebook, but I need the results earlier. Is there any provider of server capacity, where I can upload my files and the script is run on bigger machines?

A server farm will not necessarily help much -- unless your code can be parallelized effectively, which is not always the case.
Changing the algorithm or writing in a more vectorized form can often help a lot more than running on a server that might only be 4/3 times as fast per CPU.
When you profile the code, where is it spending its time?

In the situation where you are swapping, running on a server with a lot of memory might be worthwhile.

I think this page provides you with a few options. The Amazon EC2 option is probably what you want since it bills hourly.
