Doesn't Linode have a really bad security record?

  They've been hit with a coldfusion 0day in the past, but the stuff that has happened to them could happen to anyone. I wouldn't have much to critique about their security practices.

    That's incorrect along a couple different axes. The biggest problem is, most providers wouldn't be hosting ColdFusion code at all; ColdFusion is archaic and has a terrible security track record. But even if they'd built that UI in Scala, the onus is on the hosting provider to make sure the code is safe. Being a hosting provider is a big, big deal. They have less margin for security errors than almost any kind of tech company.
