I don't find the article conclusive whether they would still call them reliable.

Since they don't do any sort of monitoring on their bare metal servers at all, at least insofar as I can tell having been a customer of theirs for ten years, you don't know there's as problem until there's a problem, or unless you've got your own monitoring solution in place.
Back in 2006 my coworker claimed he was the person responsible for them adding a "exchange my dead HDD" menu point on the support site because he wrote one of those tickets per week.
When I got a physical server, the HDD died in the first 48h, so I've not exactly forgiven them, even if this was a tragic story over the last 18 or so years...
On the other hand, I've been recommending their cloud vps for a couple of years because unlike with their HW, I've never had problems.
