That's a reasonable point about the larger HDD space in your plans vs OVH.  OVH's new KVM line has been available in France for a few months, while the US/CA site still had the OpenVZ plans, but for the past month or so it had a popup saying that the new plans were coming.  So I think they...

I like the names of the different plans :).  The Ellipsis web site is rather hard to read and doesn't work at all without googleapis enabled.  The entry level plans are potentially attractive, but after that, OVH's own VPS plans (2016 version) seem hard to beat.  I've been somewhat fascinated by...

ParTAAAAAAAAAY!!!! Happy birthday HEP :)

I notice OVH Canada now has its 2016 line of VPS's available (they've been available in their France locations for a while).  These look quite a bit better than the old ones.  They seem to have replaced the slabbed OpenVZ with KVM OpenStack on the economy line, switched to Intel processors and...

Hmm, I may have been thinking of the SYS servers with 250 mbit transit on 1gb ports: http://www.soyoustart.com/us/essential-servers.xml However, I've had a Hetzner box (i7-3770 with 2x 3TB) for about a year and have never seen transfer speed above 150 or 200 mbits in or out.  Outbound to OVH...

There's a HN thread about the Hetzner servers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10115322 Also one about Scaleway price cut mentioned above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10159989 That one has a bunch of comments and links to a Scaleway vs DigitalOcean benchmark...

Fwiw, I notice ovh.us now has its 2016 line of vps's available in Canada (they've been available in France for some time).  They start at 3.50 USD for a 2GB Openstack KVM server with 10GB of SSD and DDOS protection, which seems pretty impressive to me: http://www.ovh.com/us/vps/vps-ssd.xml...

Well if you got it 3 months earlier than you needed it, and saved 10 euro/month, it would take 9 months to pay off the unneeded 3 months, which seems kind of marginal.  I decided against getting a second one back then on similar grounds and am ok without it for now.  I figure better hardware...

Yeah, one of the two 3tb drives in my Hetzner i7-3770 box was an almost new Toshiba, but the other was a quite old Seagate with significant SMART errors.  I opened a ticket and they replaced the Seagate drive. Next thing up seems to be Hetzner SX i7-2600 with 4x 4tb drives for 70 euro plus...

There are also some interesting offers here: http://oneprovider.com/dedicated-servers/paris-france I'd frankly go with the Hetzner i7-2600.  I have an i7-3770 with them and am very happy with it, and the brute cpu power is often useful.

Note those Hetzner auction prices include 18% EU VAT which you might or might not be subject to (you don't say where you are).  You also like to live dangerously if you want that much data without RAID.  The auction prices fluctuate and the i7-2600 with 2x 3TB drives is usually a euro or two...
