Rackspace isn't cheap, but if you wanna be big, they can grow with you. Changing colo providers is Not Fun.

I've had way too many lower cost providers fail to deliver or be absorbed by a larger, low-service organization to recommend shopping too aggressively for price.

Wheel Enhancement, who I advise on this stuff, is on their fourth hosting co. which they share with Disney. Sure, it's overkill, but its up 99.999% of the time.
