Rackspace announces it has laid off 200 workers

I have a dedicated linux VPS with them and use their CDN a lot. The prices seem so high, I'm considering moving.

Any suggestions?

Vultr or HostUS. Vultr's support is top-notch and their plans are flexible and reasonable. I don't work for either but I've hosted with both (still do with Vultr) and love both.

There's the usual suspects like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. If you're just looking for a VPS, DigitalOcean is cheap and easy.

There's AWS LightSail too.

and Linode.

I’d stay away from Linode. They’ve had so many major security issues over the years that at this point they are like the Yahoo Mail of VPS in my mind.

Linode have been my goto since ~2010.

Never had any downtime and the only degradation I can remember was when they got hit by a collosal DDoS a few Christmases ago (since then they've invested very heavily on ensuring that can't happen again, US DC's where down/sporadically up for days).

Hands down my default choice.
