I have a VM at Hetzner running amd64 current flawlessly as my mail/web server since 2013 on what Hetzner calls a VQ7 vServer. I dd'ed a basic OpenBSD file system image on the disc via the Debian rescue system, worked like a charm. I recently got a new CX10 VM as well, but current will hang after a few minutes, this seems to be related to virtio disc(?) drivers that are used in the newer VMs. FreeBSD runs flawlessly on this and I did not have time to investigate this yet. So long story cut short, Hetzner is a good choice for hosting, but their current VM offerings seem to be incompatible with OpenBSD amd64 current + 5.9, this can probably be fixed though.
