I rented a VPS from the French website (their native language), and it was confusing. I remember looping through the same 2 pages 10 times before actually finding the instance's access instructions.

Of course, you don't have to care about the console once you have SSH access to the server. It seems to be pretty good service for the money.

I just recently signed up for some stupidly low-priced VPS on OVH and encountered no problems at all with the sign-up. The only issue I had was when I went to increase the RAM - it said the price was $1/month, but when I bought it I was charged $5 and it took support a week to get back to me to tell me I didn't read the small print properly and that it said they would have to upgrade the Windows license which was an extra fee.

tl;dr: watch the small print and their support is slow as fuck. otherwise, incredible value for money.
