Since most virtual hosts are very oversold an quite unreliable,the best way to go is to get two of of them from different providers on different sides of the country, East and West coasts. Get static IPs and then use something like DNSMadeEasy or ZoneEdit to fail over between the two. I have a mainstream site running in such mode and according to two independent third party services, I have 99.999% reliability. Not bad for less than $20 per month.

Look into:

hostingzoom.com
dreamhost.com
lunarpages.com

DWHS has dedicated cpu vservers that kick ass www.dwhs.com

www.gotwebhost.com has virtual plans for any budget, dedicated IP's and are not oversold.
