Do you guys know of any other alternatives? I'm curious what's available these days. I'm asking about dedicated server options.
http://www.hetzner.de/ are pretty good price/performance wise .

OVH competes with Online (former Dédibox, by Iliad (Free)) and the prices goes low... http://online.net/fr/serveur-dedie
Welcome to France, IT paradise.
I used OVH for about a year and had no problems (had no need for the server any more). The only issue I did have (and might be worth considering) was probably to be expected: they seem to be very on top of network issues and won't hesitate to terminate your server if something is suspicious. I was running a game server (Call of Duty 1) that had a bug that allowed someone to maliciously redirect packets to someone els…
We had a UDP flood from an OVH server, and they said they contacted the customer to fix this issue. I checked the IP and it was still running a splash page.
A couple days later we were attacked again by the same IP. After reporting this to OVH again they finally took the server down.

Shameless plug time! My own company, Uptano, is doing something kind of neat with dedicated servers. We're letting you rent dedicated hardware and then launch multiple virtual servers on them. https://uptano.com We're not trying to be the absolute cheapest, just trying to be the company we wished to exist.
Very interesting. Question: Do all my 8 VSs have to reside on the same host? If the host goes down, it will take all my VSs with it. Any way of getting the same number of VSs but distributed across hosts?
You can of course setup redundancy by creating multiple servers on different hardware nodes.
FYI, all OVH servers have a backdoor preinstalled on them. You'll want to: echo "" > /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 rm -rf /usr/local/rtm echo "" > /etc/crontab killall -9 rtm We used OVH for some testing/dev boxes and ended up adding OVH specific puppet configs to clean up the box. Edit: Oh and on Windows you need to hit up Add/Remove programs and uninstall 'Corp SSH'
This for maintenance reporting. How do the hell they know if one of your HD has died ? It's not mandatory. And the ssh key added enforces the source IP address of requests.
Root SSH logins don't seem like a particularly good solution for this problem.

Limestonenetworks is also good in Texas, but starter servers are over-$100 for a similar 2-drive/RAID-1/8GB RAM box.

I have one of these: http://www.online.net/fr/serveur-dedie/dedibox-sc which are pretty nice as well. I think the CPU is slightly better than the OVH atoms.
