Given that Linode recently experienced a major security breach, and is unwilling to divulge any more details (other than what's on status.linode.com), I'd like to switch my hosting to another VPS provider.<p>Can the HN community recommend some other VPS providers, with plans similar to Linode's?<p>References:<p>http://www.linode.com/<p>http://status.linode.com<p>http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3655137<p>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=66916.40;all
It's not trendy, but I still love dedicated servers. You must invest time as a sysadmin (or hire a good freelance), but then you can cram so much more power per system...<p>Or choose a Paas if you really don't want to get dirty with the low-level infrastucture details.
Rackspace Cloud or AWS are your most equivalent options. There are lots of cloud VPS providers, but it's difficult to tell if they have any better security practices. I'd venture to guess that most small VPS providers aren't really any more secure; they're just smaller targets.
I am looking at going with IntoVPS as they have a good price range and locations that suit my needs. Their plans are similar to Linode's, and you get a bit more traffic and disk space in comparison.<p><a href="http://www.intovps.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.intovps.com/</a>
