A respectful VPS provider is also hard to find. Sometimes I get most of the way through the sales funnel only to find out that the ToS includes selling my personal information to third parties.

In general I found that the more third-party domains linked to from a provider's site, the higher the chance they're up to some kind of disrespectful behaviour.

I mean sure, I don't look back too fondly on the days of $0.99/mo 128MB OpenVZ plans, which is where I feel this distaste comes from. Digital Ocean, Vultr, and Linode have been way more solid for me and they keep each other honest in terms of pricing.

I'm curious if any of those three are guilty of selling personal data.
