Linode is very good! I have 7VPS servers with them.
Why is linode so good?
- You can choose the server location (multiple US, EU)
- Reliable!
- You can buy a VPS by day instead of month (you pay per month but once you stop your plan you get a refund)
- Good service (always reply of helpdesk within 7mins)
- Easy to setup a VPS (in minutes)
- Good library that you can use to configure your server
- A lot of OS'es to chose from
- Nice stats of your server + alerts on load
Do I have to say more ? :-)
