So is VPSLatch.net still the VPS host of choice around here?
Based on reviews on this site it seems that may be the case. However:
Maybe its just me, but www.vpslatch.com does not work, but it works without the www. (http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.vpslatch.net says it is down.)
On the website it says, "We always keep our customers up to date on the latest news and events of our company." but there is no mention of the recent acquisition by Hostdime.
The offer on the index says, "Hurry, offer expires in 04, 13, 30, 0" but its not even counting down. Also, the promo is "NewYear" which seems a little outdated.
I know I'm nit-picking but I've been through so many hosts in my 10 years and i usually run when i see a site like this. But after searching around i see lots of people are happy.. but I'd love to hear from some people who have signed up for this service post-acquisition.
Thanks for any feedback as well as additional recommendations for VPS providers that are reliable and honest.

The transition period in an acquisition most often is somewhat rocky but that doesn't mean service won't improve. That being said, it may be best to hold off for a while and wait for the transition to fully be completed in order to accurately gauge the new level of service.

VPSLatch was the host of choice for those looking for managed services at a budget price.
For those looking at a premium provider with a longterm track record then the likes of WiredTree, KnownHost, Servint, LiquidWeb, Futurehosting etc were the shortlisted candidates in recent years.
If budget is limited most definitely look at FutureHosting out of the group as they provide a fantastic service at very competitive prices. If you want The Daddy then it's KnownHost!

Hopefully HostDime turns things around (no doubt they will) - personally VPSLatch has failed me more than enough times to ever purchase more services from them.
Previously it really felt more like a basic VPS service with a cheap management slap on. "We will update you" type replies, etc. Nothing really satisfactory, but you get what you pay for. We'll see how things go with HostDime's *real* support team taking care of things - before it just seemed like a bunch of random remote techs.

I just used their web contact form to ask whether they allow custom kernel and how much for addtional IP addresses but it does not appear they wish to get back to me / received my query.
