This is something of a touchy subject for me because I

I'm not sure how long I've been a Linode customer. I think it's
something like six to eight years.
I've also almost always been quite happy with their service (VPS and
connectivity) and their customer service (hand holding when desired). I
say almost because I have had a couple of things that I was not happy
with initially. I say initially because they did realize they were
dropping the ball and stepped up their game and made me happy.
THAT SAID: I had to stop running my own mail server
about two years ago,
after the failure rate of delivery became too high. Part of that was
because of Google, but I'm sure another good part was due to Linode IP
addresses ending up on blacklists.
I've heard less noise about Linode's IP space than I have other VPS
providers.
I'm successfully delivering to Google from Linode daily. Running an
email server today is non-trivially more difficult than it was ten years
ago.
It has been a very long time since I looked at the
competition, but
I'm very open to switching. Do you (or anyone else for that matter)
have providers you would recommend?
I'm not aware of any /better/ options, just /other/ options.
Honestly, if I ever need to switch, I'll likely go back to a company
that I do work with that has a Co-Lo facility and host something with them.
