Not helping to the question but... Regarding similar cheap vps service you could try vultr where one can install a custom ISO and have a clean OpenBSD install without pre-installing other OSes - from what I can see it makes everything a big mess. I run a 5.9 stable (updated since original 5.7 install) there without any problems but I don't have HD encryption so I don't have any idea and can only suppose it should work without problems being a clean install. While installing with their webKVM I can only have my keyboard layout (PT) working if I use MSWindows, nor OSX nor OpenBSD make correct keyboard attribution (and I cannot remove X packages on install because I don't have the - key anywhere). I don't know if other keyboards will have similar problems.
Just wanted to share my experience so you could try alternatives if you DOcean experience leaves you hanging.
