"Slicehost":http://www.slicehost.com is an excellent choice if you're comfortable with a VPS. You could have two pretty solid VPSs for less than the cost of a dedicated server. The potential redundancy there is appealing.
If you're set on a dedicated physical machine, stay away from the big names: Dreamhost, 1and1, TextDrive, etc. You're better off finding a small shop and building a good relationship with someone who has his/her hands on the hardware. The big guys don't care about your business and they don't care when things go wrong.

But seriously. Slicehost.
