I use Vultr for a virtual host which does some static hosting (openhttpd) and DNS (nsd). They ship an OpenBSD image, but it's based on OpenBSD 6.0, so you'll want to bring your own ISO image and do the installation yourself. The console can be a bit idiosyncratic with the installer/console I find, but it's usable. Once you have a SSH key deployed the console doesn't matter much. That said, I'm interested in alternatives, as Vultr aren't completely honest with regards to their plans; specifically they don't tell people that the $2.50/month plans are actually meant as "sandboxes" rather than permanent instances. About their only redeeming feature for me is they've got a few data centres around the world including Sydney (where my VPS is located) and they're not expensive.
