While their offer is fair and you can get some pretty amazing hardware for a good price, they have low tolerance for DDoS, Hacking attempt, or even port scanning. Had to setup my server from scratch 3 times in a year due to port scanning activity resulting in my server being put in recovery mode...
I still use it but now I don't host much on it and use it as storage, origin server and data processing.
For hosting needs, I've always been satisfied with DigitalOcean, easy to setup, SSD, starting at 5$/month, and you can get a server up and running real fast.
In the more pricey but more awesome, Amazon Web Services is a great option if you don't mind shelling a bit more money. The wide range of services they offer is worth it, like ElasticTranscoder for automating encoding, S3 for cheap storage, SNS for broadcasting notifications, or CloudWatch to monitor all sorts of things about your servers/applications.
