I've got a Linode for one of my sites. I'm planning on migrating a
second server to Linode in a couple months, and I have plans to move
no less than three non-profit/corp sites to Linode. The only catch
with Linode is their host datacenter in Atlanta filters some ports.
The list is maintained on the Linode Wiki. [1] If this is a problem
for you, choose one of their other three datacenters. (I'm in Dallas,
FWIW.)
