I have a site that has around 500MB of static HTML files and a 400MB database.

Hivelocity has great prices + cloud (http://hivelocity.net/ and http://hivelocity.net/specials for dedicated server bargains)

Softlayer has great support + cloud (http://softlayer.com)

Heroku has a ton of convenience (http://heroku.com)

They can all easily provide the hardware etc necessary.

A very inexpensive and reliable option is Bluehost.com Their support is quite good. Have used them for 7 years. I handle a lot of traffic, more than 500k page views per month.

Not sure about database size.
