What server specs do you need? http://melbourne.co.uk in Manchester  
offer excellent VPS (not oversold, so just as good as a dedicated  
server), which would give you plenty of uptime since they can just  
move your server between VM hosts without taking it down, and as such  
you're not dependent on any hardware. Their bandwidth is also very  
cheap (1TB included). Ubuntu is supported.

The only reason that gets expensive is if you need a lot of disk space  
or a tonne of ram.
