Hi Matthew,
You should be able to upgrade it using the do-release-upgrade tool
built into Ubuntu - this document details how to do it:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Dapper.
Andy also suggested an alternative, which is to request a temporary
new VPS with the latest version of Ubuntu on it then migrate
everything from your old to your new one -

Thanks James - spot on!
Can you advise the easiest way to upgrade to Heron? I've tried via the
control panel, but it doesn't seem to do anything!
Any help much appreciated!
Many thanks
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
Judging by the log output, you're running Ubuntu Dapper (6.06), which
(for servers) went End of Life in June. That means no updates are
being released for it, and the apt repositories won't have been
updated. You should really upgrade to (at the least) the next LTS,
which is Hardy (8.04) (and is supported until 2013).
Hope that helps,
James
