I've been a customer of Panix (panix.com) for years and they're terrific. Inexpensive, flexible, responsive support, VERY high clue level, and proactive about patches/fixes. (There have been multiple instances in which they've fixed something before I knew it was a problem. They're fast, but deliberate: I don't think I've observed any instances where they had to back out a change.) They're also good about supporting pretty much whatever distribution you ask for: if there's customer demand/requests for it, they'll make it happen. I saw elsewhere in the threat that Vultr and DigitalOcean were mentioned. I recommend against them. These are two of the largest/most frequent sources of abuse and attacks directed against various systems that I run. These aren't one-off incidents: they're systemic and chronic. This indicates very poor system/network management on their part -- at best. They've *earned* their entries in my firewall rulesets. ---rsk
