Pretty great. Infinitely better than anyone else I've ever used (especially InMotion Hosting that corrupted my SQL database, and misconfigured Apache to return my PHP source code to every visitor.) Not perfect, but very reliable uptimes.
If I had to nitpick:
The New Jersey instance lost the ability to reach it over IPv6. Their support staff wanted root access to my box to take a look. Nice that they were willing to do that, but I just moved to Chicago instead. IPv6 with the exact same configuration works fine there.
Their two-factor authentication does not allow SMS as a backup option. I don't like printing out codes.
Like everyone else, their bandwidth scaling is really poor. You have to scale up your entire server, even if you really don't need the CPU, memory or disk space. The price increases quadratitically while the bandwidth increases linearly.
You have to e-mail them your driver's license or something to enable SMTP. I think their fine print says they'll fine you $250 for every spam mail you send or something scary like that.

On the other hand, I assume (hope?) they just mean port 25 stuff, not encrypted SMTP...
