HM: Ramnode
DM: SupremeBytes (begging for votes on skype. For shame.)
HM: Prometeus/Iperweb, Ramnode, XenVZ/OpenITC
All hosts above deserve top position, but sadly it's not possible to do that so I reckon that HM hosts from my list will get deserved votes from others and voted for those who get less attention but also offer top quality service.
1: RamNode: their Seattle location is great; other locations have higher latency than you would expect because of fewer upstream carriers but they're decent too for the price. Most stable LEB's that I have. They have the best support out of all these hosts too (combination of professional, responsive); but usually don't need to contact them.
2: EDIS: I'm using their services in a few countries. The variety is cool.
3: Backupsy: 500 GB KVM for $7.00/month...
HM: StormVZ (now INIZ or something stupid like that): the payment gateway is really annoying, but I have a server in Chicago that's been running well. Could use more bandwidth but I think they increased that recently (effectively doubled by making one of incoming/outgoing unmetered).
HM: SSDVPS: sometimes my VPS goes unreachable and support takes a while to fix it, but otherwise it's a nice LA location.
HM: TORQHost: interesting location, stable servers, good CPU/network/etc.
HM: Prometeus: has a bit higher latency than you'd expect but the servers themselves are very very stable.
HM: Liquid Solutions: their support sucks and the Seattle node that everyone is apparently on always has hours of downtime each month (and when people complain they pretend like it's just one of twenty nodes or some bullshit), but when the server's not down it's decent. Prefer RamNode for Seattle now though.
HM: End of Reality: their Dallas location has been pretty stable for me, none of the other locations have worked out though (chronic network issues).
HM: DotVPS: I use their service in U.K. and it works well. Chicago, not so much. Support is fast at responding but not professional.
HM: Aim2Game: have a server with 10 IPv4 in Buffalo, works well (except low CPU quality).
HM: CloudShards: I have lots of IPv4 addresses on one of their servers and it works well. Better CPU than Aim2Game as well, even though I think it has less cores.
HM: BlueVM: ultra-cheap VPS. The quality matches the price, so servers go down for hours often but you can't really complain for the price. Unfortunately I'm locked in to some of their yearly plans (want to switch to Dedicated Minds; although maybe wanted since DM suddenly is moving).
HM: Dedicated Minds: haven't been using them for long since I think they just started. But their combination of carrier in New York is pretty awesome, get really good connection from everywhere. Edit: moved from my second to HM since they randomly are migrating to NJ with <24 hour notice.<br />
Iniz ransom leapswitch - Just order, setup and walk away goodness. Cheers guys!
HM: CrownCloud
Its impossible list them in any particular order, it's just not how I operate or view things, so if possible, roll the dice for the order. Cheers.
