Digital Ocean NYC2 Droplets Down

If you'd used their servers for a bit longer, you'd have plenty of trouble. Linode is notorious for dreadful security practices. Their main ColdFusion app (yes, really) has been hacked on numerous occasions, including at least once incident that involved customer data loss. Linode dodged the issue and didn't tell their customers until badgered.

I can agree that DO isn't suited for production apps, but Linode isn't either. They're both VPS playgrounds.

Is there a better alternative you would suggest? While Linode has done better than DO, that fiasco left me feeling somewhat uneasy as well.

There are a great many VPS and server providers out there. I've had good experiences with gandi.net, Rackspace, moln.is and pgrmr. I've seen Ramnode and Lithium Hosting get a lot of praise. You could also use AWS if you don't have any ethical objections to using Amazon products.

Same question as antsar. What would you suggest then?
