Not sure what to think about Linode anymore, on the one hand from a pure reliability point of view they have been bullet proof, had a few issues during the DDoS in December and I've always found their support to be good (the few times I've used them in 7 years).

On the other hand they've had security issues fairly regularly and their response to the DDoS was pretty poor.

That said if I was a cynic I'd say they probably have one of the best setups for dealing with future attacks (old joke about never firing an employee who made an expensive mistake because he'll never make that mistake again) and finally seem to be taking security seriously, for me the list of changes all sound good (particulary open sourcing Linode Manager and tokenising CC's had to reset a card because of them once before).

We are slowly moving a lot of stuff back to a DC up the road but we still have some stuff with them.
