Ramnode
Dedicated: OVH
VPS: Myself(Yes I have been doing it for a gaming community, a few friends & myself for a few years now.Just not for general public until now)
But if I have to pick a VPS provider other than myself, it would be none other than Prometeus.
VPSDime !.
@INIZ - for VPS.
Currently Vultr/dotvps/ovh
Would be ramnode too but kept getting VPS shutdown due to a high traffic SQL database bumping the load up during peak times. Not their fault of course, ramnode was the fastest VPS I'd ever used and would definitely use again for other projects.
For my webserver:
For my VPN:
Ramnode and INIZ so far for me.
ovh, linode, ramnode, vultr, and tacticalvps.
Oktay's brand, RamNode, Limestone Networks, Staminus.
INIZ, VPSDime, DigitalOcean, CatalystHost, OVH (no particular order)
Any Prometeus Brand. Had outstanding service over the last years with them!
I also made good experiences with Providerservice.
Rackspace for email
Amazon for S3, CDN
DNS Made Easy for DNS hosting
LiquidWeb for very busy hosting sites
Ramnode for medium businesses
Prometeus for startups and personal blogs
Backupsy for backup
Digital Ocean for testing
vpn.sh for low cost VPN
definitely linode, then ramnode/buyvm/vultr etc
This is just like the top provider poll.
Except this allows non-LE* hosts.
Iniz, Crissic, Ramnode, Cloudshards, Bandwagonhost for VPSes...
Backups from all these cron to a Backupsy 500 GB.
8 of my wordpress sites have been on a 2GB Iniz VPS, with no significant downtime, since the past year.
A 512 MB RAM VPS from Bandwagon hosts a gitlab server with all my git private code.
I have additional lowend boxes on the other providers which host my occasional small test projects, DNS servers etc.
Had the same thought myself
Thanks everyone!
I go to @drserver for things that are production and fit into vm little secret the file system is encrypted by default.
I go to digitalocean normaly for utility systems because they have builtin backups and these systems are okay with daily backups.
Since Linode's relatively recent upgrades I have mostly used them for production but also comfortable using RamNode and DigitalOcean.
Ramnode for US, OAH for Asia
Bandwagonhost
InceptionHosting
FtpIt
is what I could use for production.
The only LE* providers i would trust with a production box are ProviderService and Prometeus. Almost every other provider has something fishy about them (1-2 man operation, no real address, only 2-3 years old, excessive drama, etc)
no bias detected here.
Ramnode for relatively busy sites or new sites
For anything that need a dedicated server i will go with 100tb.com
Thanks
We monitor, if you are a customer you should open up a support ticket.

Might want to re-think that one...
What do you consider to be production use? What then would be the important factors that would be required of a provider to meet that production use.
It's quite a throwaway statement to just say who is your go to provider, as you can see most replied with their favorite and have ignored the underlying question totally, otherwise they would have told you why.
I would exclude almost all of the providers listed here so far for several reasons but that is why I ask what the important elements are.
Ramnode and Ramnode.
Vultr (for cheap), EDIS (for locations), Domflow/CloudONE (for BW), Domflow (for cloud/redundant)
Ramnode is quiet popular as I can see, on this particular topic. I had one VPS with them few months ago, but not now...
For production I use SetupVPS (KVM), Kimsufi (KS-3), OVH (Host-32) - All in BHS Datacenter
