Not sure with the rest of the world, but in the UK, (in London at
least), this is not really an issue.
Phone lines hardly ever go down and the electricity is very reliable.
A UPS is probably all you need.
For a small website it is not a real issue.
Having said that, there are many hosts that are very good and take the
issue out of your hands.
A long time ago I used Asmallorange,
http://www.asmallorange.com/hosting/shared/ they are quite good and you
can easily upgrade, (as far as I can remember).
I now use http://www.eukhost.com/ but I have much bigger requirements
now, so I don't really know if they have anything for small sites.
They are helpful, but I think it is because I use a couple of racks.
