Ask HN: What are the best hosting services?
I'm currently using Linode to host a server. After hearing about the security issues that they have been having recently on HN, I've been considering moving away from them to some other service that costs the same or less. (I'm on the lowest tier because I don't really do much with it) I'd like to still have root access to the server so I can install whatever software I feel like playing around with. Keeping the same basic performance Linode offers right now would only be a nice bonus. I just want a reliable host that I don't have to worry about my CC info being stolen from.

Are you looking for a virtual or real server? There are pretty different consequences to both, but a virtual server is pretty much always less secure than a separate physical server due to "how things work". Never ever ever store really private data on a VM unless it enters it encrypted beforehand.
Linode's PW/CC problem was due to poor oversight (I'd assume, otherwise its just incompetence) so probably not a huge deal if you keep your services there. There's a bunch of popular ones out there - prgmr.com, softlayer, rackspace, digital ocean, leaseweb (very long setup process) to name a few.

I haven't tried them yet, but a lot of former Linode users seem to be loving DigitalOcean. [1]
