I'm particularly fond of Leaseweb's VPS series and SoftLayer's dedis for many of my hosting needs. Additionally, I've started using both DigitalOcean (medium sized projects) and RamNode (small projects) to test things out and I have a few production services running on DigitalOcean.

Leaseweb and SoftLayer have been great, one of my SoftLayer servers has been around (and 'upgraded' to each new version of the given series) for almost a decade and I have 8 servers provisioned with Leaseweb that have a combined uptime of ~99.99% (It would be higher but I borked a config and took a server down accidentally).

DigitalOcean has really impressed me, I love their 'droplets' system. Ramnode has been alright, sometimes it has exceptionally poor network throughput but that may just been the particular server I'm on

Digital Ocean, hard to beat $5 VPS with SSD drives and backups

This seems very cheap. I can't believe I haven't used them before. Has your experience been positive for the $5 and $10 packages?

I've only had a bad experience with them. The OS images needed were broken, and they just told me to use another one. Huh.
