I use OVH's So You Start line and I think my biggest complaint is that they don't allow automatic renewal. Every monthly renewal means manually keying in my card number every month. The only alternative is to pre-pay in 3, 6, or 12 months in advance. It is the only online service I use that doesn't handle auto-renewal.

Same here, it's so weird. Most services are dying to get you to sign up for autorenewal, these guys don't even allow it.

I use their dedicated servers and they just implemented automatic renewals in February. I don't know if that covers all their offerings though.

Ask them to update your account to the newest version. I assure you they handle automatic renewals and they handle them very strictly - I'm getting emails blasted to both main and optional email account at the first time there is a card decline. Here some screen shoots from minutes ago: Exhibit 1: huge yellow sticker to tell me to switch to auto-pay, which I actually don't want to for some of my clients. Exhibit 2: both bills for servers setup as autopay. Actually the option to pay in advance is a blessing and as far as I know, only known to me provider that does that. Last December where I was for $35,000 in taxes, I was able to significantly lower that down for purchasing OVH services for 12 months in advance. OVH rocks!!

  That's OVH, which uses a different control panel than their SoYouStart division. I just submitted a ticket with them asking if autorenew was possible and they replied right away confirming that autorenew is not possible, unfortunately.

Once I forgot to login and add funds for a few days. My entire VPS was deleted. Now I don't use OVH.

That is assuming you manage to find the right portal to log into! Heaven forbid you travel and hit their geofence!
