Which VPS/Cloud Hosting Providers are the Best/Reliable/Trusted?

[hollyjames879]

I'm looking to upgrade from my shared hosting, and I almost went with Vultr.com until I discovered a slew of negative reviews about them - ignoring customers, stealing money, deleting server data without warning, acting like cowboys, booting users if they actually begin to use their allocated resources, and so on...

What are some good firms that you can recommend/that you can trust with your company/websites?

I first intended to move to shared WPX (which appears to be a very reputable firm), but I soon discovered that their plans provide very little actual resources.

I don't have any special requirements; 2GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores, or even less, would suffice, and some traffic would suffice. If it's on a well-optimized/reliable server connected to a reliable network.
