FYI, virtually any provider who offers KVM-based VMs can run OpenBSD.
There are literally tons of KVM-based providers out there.  These days,
it's no longer a case of "finding a provider that supports OpenBSD" as much
as just making sure you're getting a KVM-based VPS (and not OpenVZ, for
example).  Then you mount the virtual CD of your choice and away you go,
booting bsd.rd and installing your OS.

Bigger players like Vultr will have fancy features like snapshots, APIs,
etc.  I like Vultr, but I also like supporting indy companies.  BuyVM.net
is one I can recommend, but you'll need to open a ticket to have them
remove the mail port restrictions.  RamNode is another quality host.  I
also have had a good experience at securedragon.net.

Regardless of who you choose, I'd open a pre-sales ticket just to confirm
they support what you want to run and what you want to do.  I'd ask
specifically if they have the OpenBSD version you want (and if not, every
provider I've dealt with is happy to download the .iso and make it
available...some even allow you to upload your own ISOs), and also ask
about port restrictions.

There are some forums dedicated to discussing cheap (and not so cheap)
VPSes.  I'm partial to lowendtalk.com, but there's also
talk.lowendspirit.com and hostballs.com.  I can't recommend
WebHostingTalk.com any more as it's mostly turned into an advertising/sig
spamming forum.
