Either SiteGround or ThePlanet are going to be your best bets for high-traffic sites. ThePlanet is large enough and redundant enough to provide you with reliability and speed.
Otherwise, I’ve had good success with JumpLine.
But personally, I would get a great deal from a local datacenter and host from your house.

Hi Nicholas,
MediaWiki tends to require a lot of computing resources when it’s hit with a lot of traffic so be sure to sign up with a VPS provider that a) limits the number of VPS nodes per server (reduces resource contention) and b) gives the VPS dedicated CPU and memory (stay clear of providers that promise burst).
For example, at VPS Lux we limit the number of private servers to a maximum of 8 per server. All allocations have dedicated Xeon processors and memory allocation. It keeps the node trouble free and customers happy.
If you have a need to scale, then VPS is definitely the right thing to get. Let’s say that down the road you realize that your 2GB RAM, 4GHz CPU slice can’t handle the increased load. You could either ask the VPS provider to upgrade the VPS or migrate the VPS node to its own server in seconds with just one click of a mouse, literally. The latter action is called Live Migration (if you didn’t know already). I’ve put a link to an article on how it’s done.
The live migration is done with the help of your provider as it requires root access on the master HW node. So be sure to pick a provider that’s going to cooperate and assist along the way.
