Sorry in advance for being a little off topic here: which VPS hosting companies have the best reputation for automatically restarting your failed VPS (for any reason) from the most recent backup? Many years ago, I was on vacation without an Internet access and my host provider restarted my instance and since I set up my services to start on boot up, all was good.

I would guess that I am a typical customer who does not really need fast scalability. I host several web apps with a modest number of users and what I care most about is reliability and then cost.
