I would absolutely second rimuhosting.  We have a bunch of VPS' and  
dedicated boxes there, and they've been great.  As Dimitri suggests,  
you can get a $20/mo VPS that would do straightforward web hosting  
without a problem (certainly what you could get out of a shared  
account at most service levels).
