I am happy with OVH. Only bit that’s missing is IPv6 for dynamic IPs.

doesn't OVH require ID verification after you pay? and then run off with your money if they don't get it

at least, that is my experience

I had to identify by ID iirc because I wanted a .eu domain which is restricted to EU citizens. But I had to give the ID upfront.
I wanted to purchase a VPS and they took my money before asking for ID. I refused to give them an ID that I didn't have (because I don't have one) and they kept my money and refused to provide service.

So at least don't get a VPS unless you're ready to give ID, heh.

I had a dedicated server for.. 4 months? or something before they suddenly required a scan of my ID before they would let me renew. Really weird and annoying. No abuse complaints or anything awry I was doing with it either :/
Sounds like a wonderful reason for a chargeback.
I tried to chargeback but the card company was like "nah chargebacks are inconvenient, just have some credit". Was pleasantly surprised.
