[Gllug] anyone used ovh.co.uk for hosting

[Hampus Linden]

Hm, hetzner.de looks ok but their website is German, do they have English
support?
OVH looks really amazing on paper but has anyone here actually used them?
For £15 a month I'm probably willing to take my chances, as long as I can
run irssi
and my torrentflux download :)
A Bytemarks "box" costs a lot more, is it actually better value? What else
is there out there
that is good value, I don't care if it's a VM or dedicated as long as the
service is as good
or better in reality as the OVH service looks on paper.

Thanks.
