Two alternatives often mentioned on here are DigitalOcean and RamNode.
I've only used DigitalOcean. My anecdotal experience from running a Chef Server on a 1GB instance has been pretty mixed. The price is good, but network and CPU performance feels very variable to me. A month ago their Amsterdam servers were unable to be resized, and there was nothing about it on their status page. I tweeted and was told they'd be working "some time later today". Doesn't fill me with much confidence in general.
I'd still choose Linode for anything of importance - their long reputation is well earned in my opinion. But, if this breach is true, I hope they handle it well.
