Upvoted. Thank you for reminding me again about OVH. I was considering DO, but at these prices. I can spin something up and not even think about the cost.

I'm currently running some OVH boxes and my largest gripe is the low storage space. That's the only thing that would draw me to another provider

  Scaleway (scaleway.com) offers similar pricing to OVH but with more storage. They only have a datacenter in France, though, so if you use the OVH data center in Québec it will not be of much use. I personally haven't tried them, but they are part of Iliad, the large French telecom / Internet business, so I would expect them to be reliable and to stick around.

    Wow those look like an amazing deal! Storage really is my bottleneck on a couple of projects... I'm in the UK so France is perfect. Thanks

      If feasible development wise, you could also try 'outsourcing' your storage to S3 or something similar.

        S3 actually works out more expensive for the majority of my use cases

      Be warned, they do NOT use ECC memory.

Can't really go into details, but I've got plenty of servers at OVH. It's cheap and works, when it works. When it doesn't it doesn't. Don't expect issues to be resolved swiftly or them reacting to your trouble at all. Latest ticket opened today. Average disk I/O is under 1 MB/s for sequential disk read and disk I/O flat lines for tens of seconds every now and then. If you find this acceptable, no problem. But for some use cases this just won't do. - Disk I/O IOPS & latency really does make difference between many vendors. UpCloud got free trial, try it. You might like it or not. You won't lose anything. - I've gotta be honest. Some of the OVH instances are performing great for the price. But others are as described above.
