Linode: credit card info was encrypted like Linode said, only the last 4 digits (stored unencrypted) were stolen
Linode offers fairly good specs (1 GB memory, 8 cores, 24 GB storage, 2 TB transfer) for $20 a month, but do not have any cheaper plans. They have a robust management interface with load and bandwidth statistics, DNS management, and allow uploading of custom ISOs.
Linode has had multiple security-related incidents in the past, one of which was due to a ColdFusion zero-day and resulted in passwords and the last 4 digits of credit card information info being leaked. Another resulted in $71,000 in BTC being stolen.
