I would go with anyone other than Linode, considering they left the control plane running a publicly accessible unpatched version of ColdFusion, which led to multiple instances of them losing control of customer's data.

Anyone but Linode.

I mean that was terrible, but I know full well that every company ever will have dumb vulnerabilities occasionally, so by that metric I could never use anyone.

Yeah I know about that incident - but also believe companies have the ability to learn from past mistakes and do better.

Unfortunately it wasn't a single incident.. fool me once..
